Born and raised in Cohasset, Michael proudly served his country as a Marine before embarking on a distinguished career with the United States Postal Service. After his tenure in the Marines, Michael took up a passion for carpentry with his family. They built service homes together throughout the south shore. For 35 years, he faithfully delivered mail to the community he adored, touching countless lives with his kindness and reliability.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Michael was a devoted family man. He was the loving father of four sons, including Scott Patrolia of Cohasset, MA, Michael Patrolia of Tuscan, AZ, David Patrolia of Cohasset, MA, and Richard Patrolia of Seminal, FL who brought immense joy and pride to his life. Michael's unwavering support and guidance shaped them into the remarkable individuals.

An avid sports enthusiast, Michael found great joy in the game of baseball. He generously shared his passion by coaching little league, instilling in young players the values of teamwork and sportsmanship.
