painting the school, and building a playground for the children.

He enjoyed fishing with his children, boating, golfing, bowling,

gardening, and most of all, remodeling his home.

AnnaMarie C. Aunce of Stamford, his son Joseph M. Aunce of Stamford, a

We would like to thank Pavarini Construction/Structure Tone for all of

their love and support during the most difficult time of Michael's

illness. Thank you also for all of the prayers he received from

friends, family, and especially the children of Our Lady Star of the

Sea School.

Because of Michael's great love of education and learning, his wish

was to have an education fund set up for his son, Joseph. If you wish

to donate in lieu of flowers, please send donations to: Joseph Michael

Aunce C/O Jack Faski, 35 Hayward Avenue, Colchester, CT 06415.

Another great love of Michael's was his beautiful garden. So, in his

memory please plant a garden, spend time watching it grow, enjoy the

birds and squirrels as you enjoy your life. Remember, Michael, you

will always be on the greener side of the grass.
