We also want to mention his nephew Brian Velsor (Susie Velsor) who he loved like a son; his beloved brother Mark Velsor (Nicolette) and sister Melissa Coppola (Frank).

And lastly, his crazy but loveable German Shepard Otis, who never failed to watch over his bedside. Michaels’ tireless love and devotion to his family were always evident even in his final moments.

A funeral service will be held Friday, March 18th at 11am at Bethany Covenant Church, 785 Mill St., Berlin.

His family will receive relatives and friends in the church before the service from 10 to 11am. Interment will follow in Center Street Cemetery in Wallingford.
