Obituary for Michael JOseph Farrell
Michael Joseph Farrell, 77, of Pittsfield, passed away April 3, 2024 peacefully at home. Born in Pittsfield on December 15, 1946 to Frederick and Marguerite Clark Farrell.

He had a love for the outdoors, whether it was hunting fishing or spending hours working, and caring for his garden. Mike never missed a Sunday call with his out of town kids and always made sure the youngest grand-boys had a good sugar rush.
