Michael Cannata born July 18, 1938 died Tuesday April 13, 2021.

Michael was loved by his family. His daughter Lisa (Steve Williams), Sons: Michael D. Cannata and Charles Cannata, Daughter in-law Shannon Cannata, Grand Kids: Tristan Hood, Lauren and Ryan Cannata, Brother in-law and wife Joe and Barb De La Van, Cousin Andrew Dina and wife Mary Ann, along with the many others that made up his family and friends.

Dedicated Father, Pharmacist, Business Owner, RC Pilot, dog lover. Michael was not only a great provider, but he assured his adult children’s future with hard work and ingenuity. This to him was his most important achievement.

Michael knew how to have fun too, from an accomplished hobbyist, fisherman, lover of cannellonis, turkey legs, pizza (most food really), beer, vodka and cranberry juice, and casinos! There are many stories of his fun side, including trying to paint the garage with brother in-law Joe while drinking beer. Needless to say the garage did not get painted that day, but my dad’s shoes did!

We hope you will share stories during his visitation. He would love that we are all together sharing his memories!
