Michael D. Kilfoil Sr.

GORHAM – With great sadness we announce the passing of Michael D. Kilfoil Sr., beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather, on June 25, 2025.

Michael David Kilfoil Sr. was born in Portland on May 7, 1941, to Murray B. and Clare Cassidy Kilfoil. He was one of seven children, two sisters and four brothers. Michael graduated from Portland High School in 1959.

Michael was in the Navy for four years and was honorably discharged on Aug. 24, 1965. He later enrolled in the Army Reserve for two years and was a member of the Eagles and Amvets post.

On June 18, 1966, he married the love of his life, Rose C. Lapomarda where they settled in Portland and bought their first house on Spruce Street. In the winter of 1973, they moved to Windham where they raised their family for 51 years. Michael and his wife Rose loved traveling to Florida to visit their family and friends. They also enjoyed going on cruises together.

Michael worked for Brockway Smith Company for over 30 years and retired from there in 2003. After retirement Michael enjoyed playing golf and worked part time for his daughter and son in law’s construction company as a handy man who would run errands, bring supplies and tools to different job sites.

Michael was an avid New England sports fan, his love for the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots was undeniable. He never missed a Sox or Pats game and knew every player by jersey number and the stats of each team. His love for New England sports teams was passed on to his children. Michael was always involved in coaching his son’s baseball team when he was a child. He never missed a chance to attend his grandchildren’s sports events or dance recitals to cheer them on.

Michael’s love for his family is the one thing that brought him the most joy in the world besides his wife Rose. Michael was always the life of the party and loved gathering at his children’s homes for summer BBQ’s, birthday parties or holiday celebrations. He loved playing bocce and corn hole while enjoying a cold Budweiser. His family never missed an opportunity to enjoy his famous Sunday pancake breakfast.

Michael was predeceased by his parents Murray and Claire (Cassidy) Kilfoil; his wife, Rose Lapomarda Kilfoil; two brothers, Joseph and Arthur Kilfoil, a sister, Carolyn (Frank) McGrath.

He is survived by his three children and their spouses, Veronica (Michael) Meyer, Michael Jr. (Cheryl) Kilfoil, Melissa (Michael) Castrucci; one sister, Elizabeth (Bob) Winslow, and brothers Cliff (Doris) Kilfoil, Fred (Phyllis) Kilfoil. He is also survived by seven grandchildren, Amanda, Jessica, Kyle, Mariah, Scottie, Isabella and Mikaela; three great-grandchildren, Walker, Harper and Quinn; and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Inn at Village Square and Affinity Hospice for their exceptional care.
