Founding partner of Corporate Investor Communications, Inc.

Born in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, New York on August 14, 1925 to parents Jeremiah and Brigid Mackey, Michael was the fifth child of seven, consisting of all boys and one sister.  A graduate of St. Mary' Star of the Sea Catholic Grammar School in Brooklyn, Michael did not have the opportunity to finish high school.  Michael began his lifelong dedication to his strong work ethic at this young age with many jobs such as delivering Western Union telegrams on bicycle, assisted with the initial construction of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, working at the Daily Mirror newspaper, as a superintendent of a Manhattan building until beginning a career in the 1960's in the field of proxy solicitation.  It was during this period that Michael moved his family to West Milford, NJ for the benefit of his two children.

Michael was a founding partner at Corporate Investor Communications, Inc. in 1975 which grew from 6 employees at its outset to more than 350 employees at the time of a merger in 2000.  Michael continued to work for a few years at the combined entity until his retirement in 2002.

On June 29, 1947, Michael married Roberta McCrossin of Park Slope and remained married for 41 years until her death in 1988.  He is survived by his sister Mary Hannaberry of Brooklyn, by his two sons; Michael and his wife Ann of Clifton and Kevin and his wife Myriam of Wayne, grandson Charlie Warwick and granddaughters Ali and Sam.

Memorial donations, if friends so wish, would be greatly appreciated to the Chilton Memorial Hospital's Collins Pavillion Cancer Treatment Center, 97 West Parkway, Pompton Plains, NJ 07444.
