Michael (Mike) Scarpaci, 65, passed in peace, surrounded by his loving family on April 14, 2021. In loving memory: Mike loved easily, making friends wherever he went. He was quick with a joke and had a charm that warmed people's hearts. As a friend, Mike was fiercely loyal and never shied away from supporting a friend in need. As a proud family curator, Mike became a man cave aficionado. Over more than a decade, he slowly collected small and large mementos, from family trips to sports paraphilia to photos and gifts from family and friends. Mike enjoyed a little something different from the kitchen; this generally consisted of 4-5 of the same ingredients in different creations. A great one-liner, a little something different has become one of the family's favorite inside jokes. A competitor at heart, Mike took great delight playing, coaching, and watching sports of all kinds. He was an avid Wisconsin sports fan and cheerleader of his children and grandchildren's athletics. A lover of music, Mike filled the house, cars and backyards with clamorous music. He was often as moved by amateur performers as all-time favorites like Aretha, Janis, Gaga and Cat Stevens. He is survived by his wife Lorrie, his children: Michael, Mario, Maria (Shawn), Matthias (Jacquie), Sam (Loren) and grandchildren: Peyton, Owen, and Noah. Preceded by parents, Jim and Florence, sisters Judy and Rosemary. Survived by siblings, Jim, Tom, Annette, Linda, Tony and 39 nieces and nephews.  From the family: Many of our friends and loved ones have asked to send flowers. After careful consideration, in lieu of flowers, we welcome thoughts and prayers. For folks who feel compelled, the family will accept contributions towards expenses. https://paypal.me/pools/c/8yDrzCTzBZ In observance of Dad's wishes, no public funeral will be held. Due to CDC recommendations for large gatherings, a memorial celebration of life for extended family is scheduled for June 2021 (details to follow). This allows folks plenty of time to receive the vaccination to ensure the safety of all. Thank you to Kathleen and Matt who were his hospice nurses, cousin Mary for coming in during his final days, and we will be forever indebted to our brother Mario for his relentless daily care of Dad.
