Michael DiFoggio Obituary

Michael,

Thinking of you always and missing you.Forever in my prayers and heart......Thank you for being so caring.

Cannot believe it is almost a year that Michael is gone..but never forgotten.

There isn't a day that goes by that I do not think of him... I truly loved him and I think of him all the time... all the great great memories I have going to his home and enjoying a beautiful day with him will be missed that's what I looked forward to every weekend was being with him, I love you Uncle Mike, I will see you up there

I grew up with Mike and hadn't seen him in over 20 years. We were next door neighbors and I'll definitely remember all the fun times we had as teens. Michael was considered the "hot" guy of Bridgeport during the 70's and we made many fun memories - but I'm sure he will be remembered for his loyalty and love for his family. He helped me move forward after a really tough divorce and encouraged me to move on. Rest in peace Bird - you will truly be missed...

Michael was a nice person and always good to us. We will miss him.

John and Gina Ferro

Byrd you will truly be missed by many. RIP

Mike's new journey is just beginning.

He is in a better place and with the people who love him the most, his Family.

I am always going to think of how Mike really was in my heart, and in life.

Mike is kind, funny, considerate, gave unconditional love; and is the best cousin.

Mike started working with the Blaster, I started working with Uncle Johnny. Mike lasted, I didn't. That was Mike in a nutshell. He had endurance no other could express or have.

Mike cared for others and did his best to help everyone.

Mike helped Bridgeport's economic developement thrive.

Mike gave jobs to the neighborhood guys who needed jobs.

Mike is and always will be the best!

Cousin George

With very saddened hearts we remember Bryd as that kid with a smile and always a hand out to help. Go in peace and bring your inner light to shine for us all. Our prayers and sympathy are with Byrd's children and brothers.

Our deepest sympathy, The Pusateri Family

To The Mike DiFoggio Family,
Byrd was very special to me. Mike supported me throughout my 55 years of my existance. Mike was generous, kind, and gave unconsitional love; Mike was the best man. Mike was a savy business man, helped with the capitol developement in Bridgeport, provided jobs for the neighborhood, and was great with his children. Mike is in a better place right by the side of his Mother, Father, and Danny. I was blessed to part of his life for the many years he was my mentor, my friend, and the best cousin. I Love Mike DiFoggio. Cousin Big George.

William B, Rose, and Brianna Murray. Your journey may be over, But a good one will start and you will always be remembered in our hearts.

After being out of town, I return to such devastating news...Bird's gone.
Thank you Michael for running the cat for my project even when your back was
was in pain, for buying a cocktail for me and my friends back in the day when we would run into each other and for arranging to have my new plumbing issue
looked into even though it's small potatoes. My heartfelt sympathy to your family. Your presence filled a room and this world.
