Michael, born in Leicester, NY in 1934 to James and Grace Tuchrello. After getting older they moved to Avon next door to his wife’s family for a few years. Eventually they moved to South Lima with the rest of his family and finished high school. He played football, showed cows, worked delivering bread all the while working along side his family in the muck lands. In 1962, he went to work for RG&E and also for a couple of years worked 2 sometimes 3 jobs so that mom could stay home with three kids. Mom and dad’s grandchildren meant the world to them. They were privileged to help their sons watch their first 2 name bearing boys. That sealed it for them.
