OAKVILLE – Mr. Michael G. Marc-Aurele, age 54 of Oakville, passed away unexpectedly at Waterbury Hospital on December 31, 2022. He was the beloved husband, partner, and best friend of Sandy Murphy.

One year, his son, William, and his travel baseball team were invited to play in the Little League World Series. Michael and Will drove across country to Seattle just to play. They visited ball parks and other places of intertest along the way.
