Michael Joseph Nagle, 83, of Mystic, Connecticut, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love and laughter. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he lived a charmed life. He began his career running a CYO camp in Coney Island, where he met his beloved wife, Joan Young. They married in Brooklyn and soon moved to Stony Brook, NY, where Michael taught in the Sachem School District for over 30 years.
Recently, he relocated to Mystic, where he celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary with Joan. His dedication to his wife, four children, and twelve grandchildren was outstanding. Michael’s warmth, generosity, and Irish wit touched the lives of everyone around him. He enjoyed traveling, attending family sports events, officiating, and sharing meals with friends.
He is survived by his wife, Joan; his children, Jeanne (husband Bill McNamara), Michael (wife Mary), Jim (wife Kelly), and Mark (wife Brett Clancy); and his twelve cherished grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held at StoneRidge, 186 Jerry Browne Road, Mystic on Saturday, November 23, at 2:00pm.
Michael’s warmth and humor will be deeply missed by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Bread for the World at https://give.bread.org.
