Michael A. DiMichele

Mike grew up during the Great Depression, the son of Italian immigrants. He was the first in his family not only to graduate from high school, but also to attend and graduate from college, later earning a master’s degree in computer science. He took great pride in his long career at AIL/Eaton Corporation, where, as a systems analyst, he played an important role in the development of the B-1 bomber’s defensive avionics systems.

Mike had a lifelong love of travel and took his family on trips across the country. Over the years, he visited all 50 states. He especially loved the beach and warm weather, splitting his time between New York and Florida.

An avid and accomplished bridge player, Mike spent many years competing in duplicate bridge tournaments and achieved the rank of ACBL Bronze Life Master.

Mike is survived by his children and their spouses, Angela and Bill, and Michael and Lisa; and by his six grandchildren, William, Catherine, Joseph, Michael, Matthew, and Maddalyn.
