Michael Mapother, 69

Passed 5/25/20 Clay, New York

"Michael was married to Maureen for 48 years when she passed away suddenly in 2019. He loved her deeply and faithfully. He was a loving father to three children, Melissa, Michele, and Michael. He loved each one as if they were the only one. He was the best Gampy to seven grandchildren who were the joy of his life. He was a kind, gentle, loving, and humble man. He left people better than they were. He had a kind word for everyone. He was solid, strong, and rational. My go-to guy. He always knew the right thing to say, and he always made you feel heard, understood, and protected."

-Shelly Mapother, daughter
