Greece: Michael, first child of Charles “John” Amorese and Claudia Picard Amorese, was born and raised in the Village of Honeoye Falls, NY. He graduated from Honeoye Falls – Lima high school and St John Fisher College with a degree in political science. Following graduation, Michael worked at Eastman Kodak Company for over 25 years. After he retired, Michael enjoyed traveling; an art museum or music venue his frequent destination. It could be a short hop to New York City or Hamilton, Ontario or exploring Europe. Michael was an accomplished musician, playing both trumpet and piano. He was able to play-by-ear, pick up a tune and play along with others on either trumpet or piano. He had broad musical tastes; from classical to jazz, Dixieland to musical theater. Michael was Secretary for the Opera Guild of Rochester.
