Michael Calandra, age 74, passed away on February 27, 2025 in Langhorne, PA. He was born in Philadelphia, PA, graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in 1968, and was a long time resident of Bucks County, PA.
For many years, Michael worked as a dedicated employee of Consolidated Cigar in Bristol, Pennsylvania. He was known for his strong work ethic and deep loyalty to the company and his colleagues.
Michael had a passion for life that extended beyond work. He was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Phillies and spent many hours watching games and sharing the excitement with loved ones. He also enjoyed bowling in his spare time. His greatest joy, however, came from his family. Michael’s love for his family was unparalleled, and he cherished every gathering, big or small.
Michael was preceded in death by his father, Frederick Calandra, his mother Regina Nicolosi (nee Helmstreit), and his stepfather Joseph Nicolosi.
Michael's memory will live on through his family including his sister, Debbie Remer (James); his brothers Joseph Nicolosi (Carolyn) and John Nicolosi (Maureen); his god-children Ryan Brett and Chase Nicolosi; many nieces, nephews; and multiple great-nieces and great-nephews.
A memorial gathering for Michael will take place on Monday, March 10, 2025 from 6:00pm-8:00pm. He will be laid to rest in private at Resurrection Cemetery, 5210 Hulmeville Road, Bensalem, PA 19020.
The family requests that memorial contributions be made in Michael’s name to Dove Hospice, whose compassionate care provided Michael with comfort during his final days.
