Hillsborough – Michael Edward Kassick, Sr., 85, entered into eternal life on Monday, July 15, 2024 at home with loving family by his side. Born and raised in Hazleton, PA, son of the late John and Anna (nee Dero) Kassick, he had lived in Manville, NJ since 1966.

Michael honorably served his country with the United States Army from 1956 to 1959, having served in Panama. He retired in 1995, after nobly serving his community for over 25 years as a patrolman with the Manville Police Department, during which time he served time as PBA president Local 236. Prior to serving as a police officer he served as a Civil Defense officer in Manville. He was a parishioner of the former Christ the King Roman Catholic Church in Manville. Michael was president of the Manville High School Quarterback Club from 1988-1991 and 1994-1995 and was very instrumental in helping to acquire the lighting for the Manville High School football complex. Some of his favorite things to do were vacationing at their beach house in Ocean City, Maryland, watching the UConn Huskies woman's basketball team, watching woman's college softball games, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers. He loved his dogs.

Besides his parents, Michael was predeceased by 10 siblings, Joseph Kassick, Alfred Kassick, Eleanor Pogar, John Kassick, Martha Santilli, Bernard Kassick, Edward Kassick, Marie Swett, Alice Buehler, and Richard Kassick.
