Michael A Polidori

Michael A. Polidori passed away on January 5, 2018.  Mike died from complications due to a long, hard battle with drug addiction and alcoholism; he was 35 years young. Although his passing is obviously devastating to his family, Mike once had a conversation with his mother and said, “Not too many people can say they lived their lives the way they wanted to live it, right or wrong.  I did what I wanted to do and I lived my life how I wanted to live it.  My only regret is that I hurt the people I love and who love me.”  Most times, Mike was lighthearted and care free.  He loved to cook and create new flavor combinations, but he also enjoyed putting his spin on the classic dishes.  Most of all, Mike loved preparing and serving his food to those he loved.  He loved to read, play guitar, and he was an avid Flyers and Eagles fan. Mike is survived by his mother and stepfather, Patti and Matt Brook, his brother and sister-in-law Justin and Nicole Polidori, his nephews Vinnie, CeJay and Ryan and his niece Scarlette.  He is also survived by his father and stepmother, Bruce and Cindy Britland, his grandparents, Robert and Millie Britland, his uncle, Brien (Lisa) Britland, his aunts, Kathi White, Jennifer (Randy) Berglund, and Joanne Mann.  Additionally, he is survived by his cousins: Judy Cristion, Larry (Karen) Grake, Brian (Lori) Grake and Richard (Kim) Grake.  Mike will be sadly missed by several aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members and friends. Mike was preceded in death by his adopted father, Joseph Polidori, Jr., his grandparents and by his uncles Barry Britland and Larry Grake and his aunt, Joanne Grake.
