Michael (Mike) Joseph Finnell Sr, of Bow, NH, passed on Friday, August 6. He left comfortably, surrounded by family and love, as all celebrated his life and memories. Mike was born to Robert and Elaine Finnell in Boston, MA, on January 30, 1954, and was brother to Robert Finnell Jr., Diane Carlson, Kathleen Matson, Patrick Finnell, and Andrea Finnell.
Mike is survived by his beloved wife of 46 years, Anita Finnell; daughter, Alison Lombard; son, Michael Finnell Jr. and his wife Reshma, and son-in-law, Carl Lombard; grandchildren, Brandon Lombard and his wife Rebecca, Cameron Lombard, and Zachary Finnell; great-grandchildren Faye and Finley Lombard; sister Kathleen Matson; sisters-in-law, JoAnn Finnell and Lorry Finnell; and brothers-in-law, Roger Matson and Jim Carlson. He was an uncle to many nieces and nephews and was a friend to all that had the honor of getting to know him.
Mike was fiercely protective of those he loved and gave more than he had to those that held his loyalty. He enjoyed camping, riding his Harley, exploring the beauty of New Hampshire, and sharing his love with his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He was always ready to create laughter with his humor and lend his shoulder to those who needed support.
