Michael W. Summo

Michael Summo, of Bethel, CT, formerly of Somers, NY, passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 2, 2024 with his devoted wife and beloved daughter by his side. He was 68 years old. 

Michael was born January 5, 1956 in Mt. Vernon, NY, the son of Mary (Sorrentino) Summo and the late Dr. Anthony Summo. He graduated from Pelham Memorial High School, class of 1974. He also received a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from Manhattan College and a Master’s Degree from NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering on a full Fellowship. 

Married to Linda Hoffman for nearly 38 years, Michael’s career spanned roles as both an engineering consultant and an independent inventor, receiving patents for his designs. He was also a skilled carpenter, a passionate music enthusiast, and an avid NY Yankees fan. These passions were shared joyously with his grandchildren, who meant the world to him.

Michael is survived by his wife, Linda; his mother, Mary; his daughter Jessica (Eric) Kingsbury, his grandchildren Jacob and Emily; his siblings, Tony (Barbara) Summo and Mary Maida (Dave Felten); and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
