Michael G. Romano

Michael G. Romano, 68, of Great Barrington MA, former Terryville resident passed away along with his wife, Susan (Cronk) Romano in a fire at their home in Great Barrington, Mass. (link to Susan's obituary)

Michael was born April 14, 1951 and was the son of Mildred Romano of Terryville and the late Alfred M. Romano Sr.  Prior to his retirement he was employed as a chef and life skills instructor at Kolburne School in Mass.  Mike, known to many as “Hulky”, lived a zealous life enjoying fishing, cooking, the outdoors and vegetable gardening, especially his hot peppers. A close friend best put it that Mike was a “Gentle Warrior”.  Mike was an avid writer and storyteller that always had a good joke ready to tell to keep you laughing.

In addition to his mother, Mike is survived by 2 brothers, Alfred Romano and his wife Raelene, Brian Romano and his wife April, his sister, Linda Krampitz and several nieces, nephews and great nephews.

Both Mike and Susy were compassionate and warm people always volunteering and giving back to their community wherever and whenever they could.  Family and friends were the center of their being.
