A special shout out to friend and neighbor Josh Barnes.
Michael was a father figure to many especially Nate, Steven, Mark, Josh and Buddy.
One of the many highlights Mike looked forward to, was Janis’ planning of the yearly family vacation. They ranged from the Caribbean to Maine. They included what looked like haunted houses to 5 star resorts, and somehow always included more than just immediate family.
Mike had the honor of working the last 13 years for Arnie Berkowitz at Circle Valve Technologies, Inc. Harleysville, Pa. His work was his passion and his boss was his friend. He considered his coworkers his extended family.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday November 8th at 11:00am at the Shelly Funeral Home, 1460 Easton Rd., Warrington Pa., where the family will receive friends after 9:00am until the time of service.
