Mike, born the first of twelve siblings, on Nov. 16, 1949 in Buffalo, N.Y; he was the son of Robert A. and Mary M. (O'Donnell) Antalek (deceased).
Our Mike was fiercely independent and a trusted confidant to his many siblings and friends. He was well-traveled and passionate about technology, art, photography, reading and social commentary.
