He was born in Braddock, PA on January 15, 1962 to the late Victor and Floy Alfieri of East McKeesport, PA.  Michael came from a very close knit family. He had many wonderful memories which included hunting and fishing trips, trips to his uncles farm where he and his brothers, sisters and cousins would all sleep in the barn atop the hay!  Also, many trips to the mountains in Punxsutawney PA where Michael, his brothers and his Dad built a home there.
