Michael Paul Predina
Michael Paul Predina, age 79, passed away on June 24, 2024. Loving and loved son of the late Paul and Margaret (Ruszka) Predina. Mike was the husband of the late Judith Predina and the loving father of Michael (Antonia) and Keith Predina, as well as the beloved grandfather of Nicole, Gregory and Ella Predina.
Michael graduated from Benedictine High School in 1963 and remained in contact with several of his classmates until his passing. After graduating he worked as a machinist and then as a representative selling and repairing presses and large machinery. Mike was an avid member of the Rock and Roll Capital Street Machines, a car club in Solon, Ohio. He attended many car shows in his 1957 Chevy Nomad and had a passion for automobiles that lasted throughout his whole life.
He was a devoted grandfather and enjoyed being at his grandchildren’s countless events. He cheered on both granddaughters at their softball games and was always seen in the stands of his grandson’s football games. You could always count on him to root loudly for his grandchildren’s teams— win or lose, rain or shine. He loved going to family gatherings and talking to his aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.
A private Celebration of Life will be held at Forest Hall in Penitentiary Glen on August 18th for immediate family. Donations can be sent in lieu of flowers to Rock and Roll Capital Street Machines at 6200 Enterprise Parkway, Solon, Ohio 44139.
