Born in Morristown, Michael went to Seton Hall Preparatory School and lived in Parsippany his entire life, his obituary says.

Michael graduated from Loyola University in Maryland and worked as the Vice President of Sales at Hennion & Walsh in Denville, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Michael was very enthusiastic about sports, especially the New York Giants and Atlanta Braves. He also loved to golf and spend time with his incredible family, his memorial says.

“While Michael often drove his family crazy, no one made them laugh harder and he could put a smile on anyone’s face,” reads his obituary, which continues:

“Michael will be remembered for his sense of humor and his love of his family. Some of his fondest memories include spending holidays and time at the beach with his family, especially his cousins.”

Michael is survived by his loving parents, Robert and Cindy Wortmann; his sister, Michelle Wortmann; his aunts, Carol Wortmann, Joanne Casey and her husband Chris, Karen Hersh, Susan Iossa, Louann Finkell and her husband Karl, and Cheryl Addonizio and her husband James; his godfather, Chuck Saskowitz and his wife Mary Ellen; his godmother Debbie Palma and her husband Sal; his loving cousins, Erik Finkell, Melissa Finkell, John Addonizio, Anthony Addonizio, Jennifer Casey, Christopher Casey, Tommy Casey, Matt Hersh, Brad Hersh, Caroline Hersh, Kaylin Iossa, Lauren Iossa, and Alex Iossa, and many more.
