Michael Joseph Mancuso, age 83, passed away peacefully on December 23, 2025. He was born on November 30, 1942.
Michael was the middle child of three, growing up with older sister Mary, and younger sister Ann. He built a life defined by dedication, curiosity, and deep love for his family.
Michael is survived by his beloved wife of more than 60 years, Linda Lou Mancuso. The two were high school sweethearts in Utica, New York, beginning a lifelong partnership marked by devotion, laughter, and shared adventures. Together, they raised their family and later retired to Melbourne, FL, where they spent their remaining years enjoying a slower pace of life, and cherished time together.
He was a devoted father to three children: his eldest daughter, Michele Rodd, who preceded him in death, and his two surviving children, Michael David Mancuso and Lesley Ann Mancuso. He was also a loving and proud grandfather to his five grandchildren, who brought him immense joy.
Professionally, Michael enjoyed a successful career as an Executive for Xerox, specializing in international sales. His work took him around the world, an experience he valued greatly and often shared through stories of travel, culture, and connection.
Outside of work, Michael’s greatest passion was golf. An avid golfer, the game was his favorite pastime and a source of relaxation, friendship, and lifelong enjoyment.
