Michael A. Futrick Sr, 68, passed away June 14, 2019, in his Reading residence surrounded by his loving family.

He was the beloved husband of Barbara F. (Koumaras) Futrick, with whom he celebrated 50 years of marriage.

Mike was a 1968 graduate of Reading High School. He played Baseball and Football for the Red Knights.

Mike was employed by Bernville Fuel as an HVAC Technician for over 20 years. He previously worked for West Reading Optical as an optician for 20 years.

He loved playing fast pitch softball for the Ukes and Southends softball teams in the 70's and 80's. He volunteered his time coaching several youth football teams for the Rising Sun Sunners. He enjoyed listening to 80's music, watching every episode of Highlander and the Big Ten network while having a Coors original. He was quick witted and sharp, coining several slogans and funny sayings. He found the most joy watching his kids and grandkids compete in sports. Grandpop never missed a game.
