Michael Henry Swiezynski passed away after an extended illness on Sunday, March 14, 2021, at Elliot Hospital in Manchester, NH, surrounded by his family. An adoring dad and caring friend, he will be greatly missed and remembered.
Mike was born on August 13, 1947 in Nashua, NH, the son of Margaret Naomi (Robinson) and Joseph Ludwig Swiezynski. He attended Milford public schools and graduated from Bishop Bradley High School in Manchester, NH.
Mike was a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps and served in Vietnam as a corporal, 1968-1969. Rather than accepting a baseball scholarship awarded because of his superior athletic accomplishments, and pursuing a professional baseball career, Mike decided to enlist and headed to Camp Pendleton in San Diego for basic training.
After his honorable discharge from the military, Mike received an Associate Degree from Bryant McIntosh College in Lawrence, MA, and began a long-running career in sales. Eventually, he changed careers and at the time of his retirement, Mike was working for Northeast Credit Union in the department of Fraud & Security.
Mike is survived by a loving, extended family, including a son, Matthew Michael Swiezynski and daughter-in-law, Chi Yun, of Brooklyn, NY; a daughter, Eleanor (Ellie) Swiezynski and daughter-in law, Melissa LeClerc, of Manchester, NH; Alice Wheeler and Bob Thompson, of Milford NH; Lorraine and John Angelo, of Manchester, NH; a sister and brother-in-law, Darlene and Douglas Goodin, of North, SC, and a niece and two nephews. Mike was predeceased by his parents and an older brother, Joseph Swiezynski.
Mike's gregarious and charming personality will especially be missed by his friends and family.
Services will be held March 29th, 2021, 12pm at the main Gazebo in Derryfield Park, Manchester NH. Burial will be at 3pm at New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen NH. To share a memory or offer a condolence, please go to http://csnh.tributes.com/show/Michael-H.-Swiezynski-108512815.
