WATERBURY - It is with profound sadness that the family of Michael Joseph Boulos Macary, age 75 of Waterbury, shares the news of his peaceful passing in the comfort of his home on Friday, October 24, 2025, surrounded by his family after a valiant battle for many years with cancer. He was the husband of the late Louise (Barbieri) Macary, who passed in 2019.

Michael was a faithful communicant and steadfast supporter of Our Lady of Lebanon Church. Over the years, he worked the various festivals to help fund raise for the church. Michael enjoyed playing pool and bowling with different leagues. He especially enjoyed horse races and attending the annual Saratoga Racetrack with a group of friends. Michael most enjoyed socializing with his friends over a few drinks. Michael loved his family, faith, and the simple things in life. He was a man of few words, never complained, and was always honest and straightforward.
