Michael Joseph Radino

Michael Joseph Radino, age 58, passed away on July 8, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas. Born on July 5, 1968, in Pequannock, New Jersey, Michael lived a life centered on family, friendship, hard work, and generosity.

Known lovingly as "The Great Wambino" and "Godfather," Michael had a personality that filled every room. He never met a stranger and was always ready to lend a helping hand, offer advice, or share a laugh.

Michael proudly dedicated more than 30 years to Southway Ford, where he built not only an outstanding career but lifelong friendships. He was respected as a mentor and father figure to many young salesmen, and the countless tributes shared by his coworkers speak to the lasting impact he had on everyone fortunate enough to work beside him. He was deeply admired throughout the automotive community and will be remembered not only for his success, but for the kindness, guidance, and encouragement he freely gave to others.

While he loved his career, nothing meant more to Michael than his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Roseann, of 22 years; his son, Michael Jr., and daughter-in-law, Kacy; his treasured grandsons, Cooper Wayne and Clay Michael; his stepsons, Justin and C.J.; and his brother, David Radino.

Being "PawPaw” was Michael's greatest joy. His grandsons were the light of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

Michael was preceded in death by his parents, George and Winifred Radino; his brother, George Radino; his nephew, Joseph; his sister- and brother-in-law, Toni and Tom Chisum; and his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Radino.

Outside of work, Michael was a talented woodworker who loved spending time in his garage creating with his hands. He was a devoted New York Giants fan and looked forward to Sundays, when family gathered around his table to enjoy his famous pasta and sauce. Those meals created memories that will be treasured forever.

Michael was taken far too soon, leaving behind a family, countless friends, and coworkers who loved him deeply. His kindness, generosity, humor, and unwavering love for his family will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
