Following his Air Force service, Michael continued to proudly serve his country and its veterans for 36 years as a Vocational Rehabilitation Specialist with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
A quiet and humble man, Michael found joy in the simple things in life. He enjoyed reading, cheering on his favorite New England Sports team and ending the day with big bowl of ice cream.

He will be deeply missed by all those who had the privilege to know and love him.
Michael was the devoted father of Christopher McAloon, and his wife Kiley, and the proud ‘Papa’ of Lauren and Allison McAloon.
