Michael W. Scanlon, a lifelong Quincy resident, passed away on Sunday, March 8, 2020 at age 67. A graduate of Bunker Hill Community College, he had a career as a chef, working at the Sheraton, Phillips Old Colony House and Common Market Restaurants.

The son of the late William A. and Katherine J. (Grasselli) Scanlon, Mike was the loving brother of Theresa Ryan of Quincy and Debra Fordham and her husband Steve of Rockland; and is also survived by his dear nieces and nephews.
