He served honorably in the U.S. Marine Corp. and completed 34 years of service with the Buffalo Fire Department. As a parishioner of St. Bernadette’s, he was a member of Holy Name. Mike found solace in attending morning mass with a close-knit group of friends who shared regular breakfast gatherings at Tim Hortons. Family and friends were at the heart of Mike's life, and he expressed his love through shared moments and laughter. An avid golfer and life-long athlete, he found joy in the camaraderie of the game. Mike was also known as the luckiest man in games of chance, winning more prizes than could be counted. May the memory of Mike Frawley live on, and may he rest in eternal peace surrounded by the love he so generously shared with those fortunate enough to know him. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations in Mike’s name be made to Bishop Timon St. Jude High School.
