Michael “Mike” Sapala, age 91, of Beil Hill Rd., Delaware Twp., Greenville, passed away Tuesday afternoon, July 23, 2019 after a brief illness in The Grove at Greenville surrounded by his family.
He was born in Greenville on November 24, 1927 to John and Victoria (Flaga) Sapala. Mike was a 1946 graduate of Penn High School and was a life long farmer on Beil Hill Rd. He was of the Catholic Faith and was a longtime member of the former St. Stanislaus Church in Sharon, PA.
Mike's interests included hunting, polka music and dancing, gardening, taking care of his yard and he loved his favorite cat “Fluff”.
On May 8, 1978 he married the former Shirley M. (Crosby) Sapala, she survives. Also surviving is a step-daughter; Rose M. Brettell and her companion Dean Sherbondy of Greenville, a step-son; Timothy J. Sapala of Greenville, two step-grandchildren; Derek Chess and Amanda Chess and her husband Francis Huynh and a step great-granchild; Brody Huynh and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, four sisters; Anna Maykowski, Marie Petroski, Stella Dudek and Florence Sapala, and four brothers; Frank Sapala, Theodore Sapala, John Sapala and Walter Sapala.
“Toast” – we hope you can feel our arms around you as we offer our love and sympathy. You were always a big part of our family – and we grieve for your loss. Mike’s “circle of life” has been completed and it’s now up to us to be the best we can be and meet him again in Paradise. May our Lord’s peace and grace be with you in the coming days. We will not forget Mike – and we certainly won’t forget you.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, Shirley, Rose, and Tim. I miss the days of putting in hay with the whole Sapala team.
God bless
