Michael J. Vernotico
Everyone who knew Mike understood that he was a pillar in his community. From the pride he took coaching football, baseball, and basketball through the years in Millburn-Short Hills, Summit, and New Providence to his active involvement in local politics, Mike cared deeply about his fellow citizens and neighbors. With his genuine charm and welcoming smile he brought others to the table to share in his enthusiasm.
A devoted husband, father, grandfather and community leader, Mike will be missed and always remembered by those fortunate to have known him.
To ensure your generosity and support are acknowledged - and to prevent you from future solicitations - Mike’s family has requested that memorial contributions be made through IN MEMORY OF to the following
St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center
Founded in 1939, the St. Hubert Animal Welfare Center is dedicated to providing services that support the human-animal bond and seeks to foster an environment in which people respect all living creatures. The organization operates two animal shelters and an adoption center, along with a nationally renowned Training and Behavior Center located at its Madison campus. In addition to providing help and relief to its shelter animals, it offers community-based services including a pet food pantry, a pet helpline, low-cost spay/neuter of community cats, and a professional education series. Its employees also provide services for local districts by assisting with domestic animals and wildlife in need.
St. Jude Children's Hospital
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of its founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.
