Waterbury. He recently retired to spend more time with his family. He was a Miami Dolphins fan

though was his family, especially his son, grandchildren, wife, brothers and sisters. He will be
greatly missed by all who were blessed to know and love him.

Michael’s longtime girlfriend Jamie Markie and their two daughters Layla and Lula Markie of
Waterbury; and his siblings Raymond Morrissey of Waterbury, Gerard Morrissey of FL and
