Michael was born September 20th 1934 in Newbridge, County Galway, Ireland, the son of the late Patrick and Anne (Lohan) Giblin. He was raised and educated in Ireland and emigrated to the United States in 1968, settling in Waterbury, where he has lived for the past 50 years. Michael spent 26 ½ years working as a lineman for the former Connecticut Light and Power Company until his retirement. Michael was extremely proud of his Irish heritage and was a member and former Treasurer of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. He was an avid sports fan and enjoyed watching soccer, golf, the NY Giants and the New York Mets. In his younger years in Ireland, he enjoyed hurling and Gaelic football. Following his retirement, Michael liked to travel with his wife, Anne, and also enjoyed taking trips to Foxwoods Casino to play poker. He was a long time communicant and active member of Sacred Heart Church in Waterbury. There was nothing more important to Michael than his family.
