Mike Siano (Papa) of Cosmopolis, Washington, passed away on Wednesday, June 24, 2020, at the age of 84. After a short decline in health, Mike died peacefully with his beloved wife, Opal, by his side. Mike was born Nov. 3, 1935, in the Bronx, New York, to Carmelo and Angelina Siano. He was number four out of seven children.

Mike served in the U.S. Army from 1955 to 1961. While he was stationed in Fort Lewis, he met and married the love of his life, Opal Barton, on April 8, 1961. They shared 59 beautiful years together. The two moved to New York where he worked in construction for 13 years. They had three daughters: Dia, Desirae and Raina.

In September 1974, Mike and his family moved to Cosmopolis, Washington where he started work at the Weyerhaeuser Pulp Mill until retirement in 1998.

Mike is survived by his wife, Opal, who resides at the family home; three daughters: Dia (Jim) Siano of Montesano, Washington, Desirae (Geno) Burden of Lacey, Washington and Raina (Shawn) Bridges of Cosmopolis, Washington; grandsons: Brandon (Tiffany) Siano, Cody (Kristina) Bridges and Kegan Bridges; granddaughters: Ashley York, Misty Dean and Kenadi Bridges; great-grandchildren: Emma Siano, Eastyn Siano, Ellie Adams and Axl Bridges; sister Tina Siano Maher of Long Island, New York and brothers: Carmine Siano of Whitestone, New York and Eddie Siano of Long Island, New York.

Mike was a volunteer Cosmopolis Firefighter for 25 years and volunteered for Aberdeen Little League. He also did the chains for AHS football games for several years. Mike made the best lasagna, played slow-pitch with co-workers from the mill, enjoyed going to the ballpark, but his biggest love was anything that involved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He had a million stories to share and was their biggest fan. Mike was a man that always put family first. We were truly blessed to have him in our life. Thank you, We Love You Dad (Papa)
