Mike (Dick) Vitali, a dear father, husband, son, sibling, friend, and colleague, unexpectedly passed away on November 2, 2021 at age 49. This page allows Tracy and the kids to share news and updates with all of their loved ones of the upcoming celebrations to honor Mike's life. Mike was a 25-year Navy veteran, and he touched many lives from Hawaii, California, Florida, Virginia, and of course his beloved Cleveland. Everywhere Mike settled, he and his family changed the social landscape of the area and brought the community closer together. Mike was a devoted husband to the love of his life, Tracy, and loving father to his children Gabby, Bella, and Michael. His impact on the lives of everyone he knew cannot be overstated and will continue on forever in his children. We love you and will miss you, Mike.
