Mike was a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan whose enthusiasm for his team was well known by everyone around him. A longtime resident of McGuire Memorial Homes since 2000, Mike became a beloved and familiar presence, known for his positive attitude, wonderful sense of humor, and unforgettable smile. A devoted Catholic, his faith was an important part of his life, and he faithfully attended church each week. Above all, he will be remembered for the happiness he brought to others, his ability to make people laugh, and the warm smile that could brighten any room.

He is survived by his siblings, Diane Scanlon and her wife, Julie Bursnworth Scanlon and Rick (Eleanor Ours) Scanlon; along with numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded by his sister, Cheryl Herrington.
