Michael J. Policano, age 77, of Macungie, PA, formerly of Wayne, passed Monday, December 7, 2015.
He was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York having graduated from the Midwood High School, Brooklyn, New York with the Class of 1957. He continued his education at Hunter College in the Bronx where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Math with the Class of 1961.

After graduating college, Mike worked for Systems Development Corporation (SDC) in Paramus. Soon after he was married, he was transferred to Santa Monica, California. He later came back to New Jersey and worked for Western Union Company. After a short while he settled into a twenty-nine year career as a computer engineer for the ITT Corporation in Nutley before retiring in 2007.
Mike met Erika Fischl at work. Their first date was to the movies, and they soon fell in love. Days after they married at Immaculate Heart of Mary on June 21, 1964, they left for California. Their honeymoon was a roughly 5,000 mile trip, hitting many popular locations across the country and finally settling in California. They enjoyed a few years in California and then moved back to New Jersey settling on Stalter Drive in Wayne, New Jersey before retiring and moving to Macungie, Pennsylvania in 2007. Mike and Erika enjoyed over fifty-one years of a happy and loving marriage.
He was very dedicated to his Catholic faith and was a parishioner of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Wayne for many years, as well as being a former member and financial secretary for the Knights of Columbus Council 10206 at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. He was a 4th Degree Knight with the Saint Francis Council 2617 in Wanaque, and when he moved to Pennsylvania, he joined the Calvary Council 528 in Allentown, PA.
Mike was also very active in his community in Pennsylvania having served on several committees at the Four Seasons at Farmington Condo Association where he lived. He was also politically passionate and a member of several Tea Parties as well as the Lehigh County Republican Committee of Allentown, PA and a past board member of the East Penn School District in Pennsylvania.
Michael is survived by his loving wife Erika Policano; three devoted sons: Eric Policano of Haskell, James Policano and his wife Bonnie of Herndon, VA, and John Policano and his wife Kelley of Morris Plains; cherished grandfather of Ricky, Shane, Kaleigh, and Jackson; he was the loved brother of Dominick Policano and his wife Genevieve of Glen Rock, NJ, Thomas Policano and his wife Susan of Boca Raton, FL, Andrew Policano and his wife Pam of Irvine, CA, and the late Joseph and Louis Policano.
