Mitchell "Mike" Stefanick

Mitchell “Mike” P.  Stefanick was welcomed into the arms of his Savior on October 25, 2016.  Mitch was born on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 1959.  As a lifelong resident of Uxbridge he attended St. Mary’s School and graduated from Uxbridge High School Class of 1978.  Mitch was known for his hard work ethic, and even prior to graduation worked in area restaurants such as the Cocke N Kettle and Wright’s Chicken Farm.   Eventually he followed his passion and began a career in the construction field.  He worked for Danella Corp., Bedard Concrete Finishing, and Fontaine Brothers.  He was a member of the Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen Union Local 3.

He was revered for his dedication, craftsmanship, expertise and integrity, always willing to mentor those just learning the trade. He even obtained a patent for a specialized tool which he developed for use in the trade of concrete finishing. He took great pride in building his own home and used his skills to build dry stone walls & fireplaces.  Mitch had an intuitive ability to repair and rebuild almost anything.  At home he enjoyed cooking, canning, gardening, raising chickens, and sharing his surplus with family & friends. He was humble, kind and always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need.

Mitch was preceded in death by his father Mitchell F. Stefanick. He is survived by his wife Joanne (DeVries) Stefanick, his mother, Marion “Dolly” (Harrington) Stefanick, his two daughters Brittany & Lisa Stefanick, and his siblings Katherine (Stefanick) Desjardin, Thomas Stefanick and Robert Stefanick.

In memory of Mike, the family invites you to honor him by spending time with your loved ones today as tomorrow is promised to no one.  Mike had a special place in his heart for dogs and provided a good home to many over the years.   Consider purchasing a brick in support of the Uxbridge Dog Park. www.polarengraving.com/UxbridgeDogPark
