Michael Joseph Laczo, a cherished father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away at the age of 62 on June 4, 2025, at St. Luke's Hospital in Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania. Born on March 20, 1963, Michael's life was marked by his dedication to his family, his career, and his unwavering support of others in their journey to recovery.

Michael was a proud alumni of Salisbury High School, where he formed lifelong friendships and developed a strong work ethic that would serve him well throughout his life. Following his graduation, he embarked on a fulfilling career as an electrician, where he became a respected member of Union IBEW #375. His skilled hands and keen mind were not just his tools of trade but also a means through which he connected with and supported his colleagues.

Family was the cornerstone of Michael's life, and he is survived by his loving children: Tiffany Laczo of New Tripoli, Stephanie Laczo of Lehighton, Brittany Laczo of Allentown, and Michael Laczo Jr. of Reading. He instilled in them the values of hard work, compassion, and the importance of family bonds. His joy was multiplied with the arrival of his grandchildren, Kira, Kylie, Reily, and Reese, whom he adored and cherished with every fiber of his being. Michael is survived by sister, Eletta Wiegner and is predeceased by his mother, Rosemary Reagle.

A man of many interests, Michael was an avid cross-country hiker, finding solace and peace in the embrace of nature. His hikes were not just physical challenges but spiritual journeys that allowed him to reflect on the beauty of life. He was also a passionate advocate for Alcoholics Anonymous and the recovery community. Michael's own journey to sobriety became a beacon of hope for many, and he dedicated countless hours to helping others find their path to recovery.

Michael also enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. He was known for his love of napping, often joking that it was his way of recharging his batteries for his next adventure. Books and puzzles, too, were a favorite pastime, as they allowed him to exercise his mind and patience, often leading to moments of shared laughter and joy with his family.

Michael's legacy is one of love, perseverance, and service to others. His warm smile, generous spirit, and the laughter he shared will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
