Michael Joseph Rodia, Sr., a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and overall 
great guy passed away surrounded by his loved ones on September 2nd, 2023. He 
was 68 years old.

The son of Gennaro and Anna Rodia, Michael was born in Madrid, Spain and traveled 
the world with his military family as a child before settling in Brooklyn, New York and 
later Montgomery, New York.

Michael served in the United States Army. He was employed at Verizon for over 30 
years. An old school hard worker, he was incapable of sitting still in retirement and 
went on to work as a school bus driver for the Valley Central School district for almost 
10 years.
Michael’s sarcasm, quick wit, sensibility and good advice will be truly missed by his 
friends and family. He was the kind of man that never complained and would do 
anything to support his loved ones when they needed him. No drive was too long, and 
no task was unmanageable. He was somehow always in the area or already happened 
to be completing whatever errand you needed – nothing was a bother for him.

In his free time, he loved to take road trips with his wife, spend time with his family, 
tinker on projects, wander around Walmart, fish with his kids and grandkids, and nap 
wherever a comfy chair and TV were available.

He will always be loved and remembered by his family and friends.

Visitation will take place Wednesday September 6th, 2023, from 2:00PM – 4:00PM and 
6:00PM -7:30PM at Overhiser Funeral Homes, 78 Union St. Montgomery, NY.

A service will follow visitation hours, Wednesday September 6th, 2023, at 7:30PM at 
the funeral home.
