 MILLINOCKET - Michael A. Simone, 63, passed away peacefully Sunday, May 13, 2012, with his family and friends by his side at Millinocket Regional Hospital. He was born June 27, 1948, the only son of Anthony J. and Evelyn (Hall) Simone. Mike attended schools in Millinocket and was a graduate of Stearns High School, class of 1967. During his high school years he played football under Coach Westcott's winning Little Ten Conference team. Known for his size, Mike stood out as the heaviest school boy player in the state in 1966. After graduation he went to Northeast Tech, Boston, and from there moved to New Jersey working for Hoffman Motors. In 1970 he moved back to Millinocket to work for Katahdin Motors as the parts manager until 1979, when he went to work for Great Northern Paper Co., eventually working in the finishing department. Mike's hobbies ranged from old vehicles to hunting, fishing and a great passion for Italian cooking, which led to helping his wife operate Orvieto's Italian Market and deli. His talent for creating so many versions of sandwiches never ended. Mike also loved spending time at his camper at Nesowardnehunk and playing cards at the Elks. He was a member of Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks No. 1521, Millinocket, and took part in many of the antique car and truck shows in the state. Mike is survived by his wife, Carolyn Simone of Millinocket; sons, Anthony of Ellsworth and Allen of Smith Pond; a grandson, Zachariah Simone of Whitefield; several sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins and many close friends who stood by during his final days with love and support.
