Mike, nicknamed "The Babe“at an early age, for his Ruthian baseball homeruns and large frame, was born, raised and lived his entire life in Rye. He was an outstanding athlete, playing football, baseball, wrestling and track at Rye High School.

Mike was also known to throw many large parties for July 4th holidays and hosted the Groglio tailgate at the Rye Harrison football game for many years, feeding the masses. He was an avid Mets, Jets and Villanova basketball fan. Among his greatest traits, he was known for generosity and willing to help, family, friends and even strangers at a moment’s notice from all walks of life. His ability to make people smile and laugh when he entered a room made him a larger-than-life character, with a big heart, that everyone knew.
