Michael was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, serving in the Korean War stateside and in Germany from 1950 to 1954. Michael is currently registered on the Wall of Honor at the National Air and Space Museum as a testament to his commitment to and passion for aviation.
Michael is retired from a 44 year career at the State Line Station of Commonwealth Edison.
Michael is survived by his beloved wife, Patricia, of nearly 68 years; daughters Marilyn (Daniel), Susan and Cynthia; son Michael; grandsons Jeremy and Sean; loving niece Judy (Brian) and family and other nieces and nephews; and pet Sandy who he loved dearly.
Our family would like to thank the wonderfully caring and compassionate employees at Community Hospital – especially 2-West and 5-West Oncology, and the wonderful people at the William J. Riley Memorial Residence.
A memorial visitation will be on Wednesday May 30, 2018 from 4 pm to 8 pm at CHAPEL LAWN FUNERAL HOME AND MEMORIAL GARDENS, 8178 Cline Avenue, Crown Point, Indiana.
