Michael J. Marcinkewicz

WAPPINGERS FALLS - Michael J. Marcinkewicz, 75, died peacefully at home on November 12, 2026. An area resident for over 20 years, he previously lived in Yonkers.

Born on August 14, 1951 in Yonkers, Michael was the son of the late Charles and Rose (Salamone) Marcinkewicz. He was employed by the City of Yonkers Parks Department for many years and also spent time working at General Motors.

Michael will be remembered as a naturally gifted musician who belonged to several bands over the years. He started playing the drums at age 10 and eventually loved to play the guitar just as much. Early in his career, the renowned drummer Gene Krupa heard Michael play and immediately recognized his musical talent. Michael also had a special affection for animals, which was a reflection of his kind nature.

Michael is survived by his sister and caregiver, Sharon Noel and her husband Barry of Wappingers Falls; and his niece, CharLie Noel.

Visitation will be held at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction on Monday, November 16th from 10 am - 12 pm with a funeral service at 12 pm. Burial will follow at Fishkill Rural Cemetery.
