Obituary of Michael Cortese
Please share a memory of Michael to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
North Plainfield, NJ – Michael Cortese, 64, passed away on March 26, 2020 at RWJ University Medical Center Somerset in Somerville. Born in Plainfield, Michael lived in Piscataway and most recently resided at the Keystone Group Home in North Plainfield.
Michael was a special adult who took great pride in his life. He enjoyed his time at the ARC of Somerset and loved to participate in the Special Olympics. Michael could always be found riding his bike and checking out the family car. Most of all, Michael loved being home with his mother and his family. He loved listening to music, take walks in the park, go to stores and restaurants, and take rides in the car.
Predeceased by his father Michael J. Cortese in 2017, Michael leaves behind his loving family: his mother Margaret (Izzo) Cortese of Piscataway, sisters, Margaret Smith of Gillette, Nancy Gaston of Branchburg, and Susan Kelemen of Tewksbury Township; two nieces and three nephews.
Although the family would enjoy everyone’s words of comfort during this time, due to the COVID-19 restrictions, Michael’s services will be held privately and burial at St. Vincent’s Cemetery in Madison will also be private. Please visit www.PiscatawayFuneralHome.com to leave online messages to the family.
