A proud Army veteran and Police Officer with the NYPD, Micky served with the kind of hard work and honesty that earned trust and respect over a lifetime. In every role he held, he was known for his loyalty and selfless commitment—values he carried with him both in uniform and at home.
Loving husband of the late Florence Grace. Beloved father of Daniel and his wife Annmarie, Barbara Lukenovich an her husband Tony Silvestro, Robert and his wife Eileen, Joan McGillis, Michael and his wife Debra and the late Laurence Jr. He was the cherished grandfather of 16 and the adoring great grandfather of over 20 great grandchildren. His family was the heart of his life, and his steady presence will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate to know and love him.
A faithful man, Micky was also a 50 year member of the Knights of Columbus, reflecting a lifelong commitment to service, fellowship, and principle.
Micky leaves behind a legacy of love, integrity, and enduring devotion—one that will continue to be carried forward through the many lives he touched.
