Teamsters Canada Rail Conference

With deep sadness we announce the passing of a loving husband, father, son, brother and friend. We lost Mike tragically and suddenly on January 12, 2010 at the age of 42. He leaves a lasting legacy in his family whom he treasured beyond all else.

Loving husband and best friend of Donna-Marie (nee Costigan) and cherished father of PJ (Paul James), Angela and Andrew. Beloved son of Paolo and Salvina Chiarelli, and devoted brother of Sally Mule (Eddie) and Christine Bianco (Charlie). Wonderful son-in-law to Betty and the late Michael Costigan, and dear brother in law of Michael (Connie), Ann Margaret (Raj) and Sean (Heather). Adored nephew of Joe and Salvina Chiarelli, Sam and Nicolina Chiarelli, Charlie and Rose Chiarelli, Sam and Gina Cino, Roger and Teresa Cino, and Maryann and the late Michael Saracino. Cherished uncle of Joseph, Samantha, Charlie, Dante, Mia, Owen, Jacob, and Maya. Mike will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his many cousins and countless friends.

Mike was well known for his generosity and as someone who would do anything to help his family and friends.

A loyal employee of CN Railway for 20 years, Mike was passionate about cars, especially his Corvette. His unique laughter was contagious, and can still be heard in the hearts and minds of all who loved him.
