Born in Norwalk on March 12, 1953 he was the son of the late Joseph and Ida Mazza Rucci. He grew up in New Canaan, and graduated from New Canaan High School in 1971. He was a gentle, kind and loving father, brother, uncle, neighbor and friend. Michael worked as a barber, carpenter, builder, and most recently a landlord and handyman for the multi-family building he owned in Bridgeport. There he became a favorite babysitter and honorary grandfather to his neighbors’ children, as well as a soft touch for all the four-legged strays in the neighborhood. Good, caring, light-hearted and generous, he will be greatly missed.
