This memorial website was created in the memory of our brother and dear friend, Michael J. Brancaccio, 57, born on April 27, 1954 and passed away suddenly and unexpected on October 1, 2011. We will remember him forever.
Please feel free to share your own special memory of Michael by leaving a tribute message below or by the story link above.
I hope you celebrate Mikes birthday today Laurie and Trisha and families. If he were with you I can picture a bbq with Aunt Jeanne’s “ California cake”.
Today I remember playing on Grandmas front lawn in front of the tiny white house. Baseball with sticks, croquet and tag among the trees. We were also carted off to Sandy beach in an old station wagon with kids and towels everywhere. There we floated in the shallows while our parents made lunch in the sanddunes. All very precious memories!
Mike was a part of the good memories of childhood and he will always be missed. Today I miss that shy smile of his❤️. Love to all
FROM AUNT JANETTE, TONY, AND DONNA
OUR MEMORIES OF MICHAEL WOULD HAVE TO BEGIN, FROM AUNT JANETTE. SHE REMEMBERS HIM AS A QUIET , SOFT SPOKEN BOY WITH A WONDERFUL SMILE, SO LIKE HIS FATHER'S.
TONY REMEMBERS THAT HIS LOVE OF HAWKS BROUGHT HIM TO OUR MOUNTAINS AND HILLSIDES OF SIMI. HE HAS OFTEN THOUGHT OF MICHAEL WHEN LOOKING OUT OUR WINDOWS OR SITTING ON OUR DECK. NOW WHEN HE SEES A HAWK FLY BY, THE MEMORIES WILL BE SADDENED WITH REGRETS THAT HE DIDN'T MAKE AN EFFORT TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIM.
OUR HEARTFELT SYMPATHY GOES TO OUR LOVELY LAURIE AND TRICIA, AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILIES.
" SURELY ANYONE WHO LOVED GOD'S CREATURES, AS MICHAEL DID, IS RESTING IN HEAVEN TODAY "
LOVE ALWAYS, AUNT JANETTE, TONY, DONNA AND FAMILY
We are all very saddened by the passing of our cousin Michael. We only met once in Windsor during your families cross county road trip sometime in the mid 1960's I think, Our condolences to Tricia, Laurie and families.
Paul Brancaccio.
