Michael R. Chambrello, 85, of Plainville, passed away surrounded by his family, on Thursday, April 10, 2014. He was the husband of Patricia (Mayock) Chambrello, with whom he shared 61 years of marriage.
Born and raised in Plainville, he was the youngest of six children of the late Michael R. and Theresa (Silverio) Chambrello, Sr. A lifelong resident, he was a graduate of Plainville High School, and enlisted in the US Navy, proudly serving his country during WWII. He married the love of his life, Patricia shortly upon his honorable discharge and they settled in Plainville. Here they raised their five children and acquired, renovated and expanded Pinnacle Rock Farm, creating a comfortable home for his children and grandchildren to enjoy. Michael was a longtime member of Our Lady of Mercy Church, and was well known and well liked in the Plainville Little League System where he served on various capacities for more than twenty years, including coaching, umpiring and management. He held a longtime career as a finance manager and comptroller for Freedman Electric and McPhee Electric from which he retired. He was a member of the National Electrical Contractors Association. Mike and Patricia enjoyed their retirement, spending more than twenty years wintering in St. Augustine, Florida. A sports enthusiast, he was a fan of the NY Yankees, and convinced his children and (most of) his grandchildren to cheer them on as well. Mr. Chambrello was a talented cook, with his soups and stuffed breads being the favorite of his family and friends. Above all, his greatest passion was his family. Mike took great pride in the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren. A beloved man, he will be greatly missed, leaving family and friends many happy and cherished memories.
