Mr. Michael Joseph Abromaitis

Michael Abromaitis, born June 10, 1940, passed away peacefully at home on July 11, 2023. Michael was the devoted and loving husband to Dr. Carol (Sue) Nevin Abromaitis, longtime professor at Loyola University Maryland. Michael was the son of Joseph Vincent Abromaitis and Virginia Evans Abromaitis (Nee Maltby). He was the brother to Joseph Charles Abromaitis and the late Joann (Sister Josanna) Abromaitis. Mike, as he was known to friends, grew up on Park Ave, in Resevoir Hill and attended elementary school at nearby Corpus Christi. He continued his Catholic education at Loyola Blakefield, class of 1958. A proud “Don,” Mike played club lacrosse before the school had established a varsity team, and also participated in football and ran cross country while there. Mike received the school’s Kelly Award in 2016, acknowledging his service as a role model and example to others for his personal, family and public life. Mike earned a degree in English from Loyola College in 1962 and was a member of the Men’s Lacrosse Team competing against Cornell, Penn State, Towson, Johns Hopkins, Washington College and others. Mike served his country and earned the distinction of US Army Ranger, Airborne, stationed in Korea. Later, Mike earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Maryland in 1967, and added his Master’s of Law in Taxation from Georgetown University Law Center in 1971. He worked for over 50 years as partner of Wright Constable & Skeen in Baltimore, practicing corporate, business, and non-profit law. Mike loved the company of his family and friends. He could regularly be seen in the stands at John Carroll School, Mount de Sales Academy, Notre Dame Preparatory and other local schools, cheering his many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews in lacrosse, soccer, football and other sports. A passionate Loyola University sports booster, Mike particularly enjoyed watching and supporting the Greyhound lacrosse and basketball teams. He occasionally provided color commentary for the lacrosse broadcasts on local radio and ESPN3. His favorite topics of conversation were discussing the lacrosse program’s many recent wins over Johns Hopkins or the 2012 season when the Greyhounds won the NCAA National Championship. An avid volunteer throughout his life, Mike served on the Loyola Blakefield Board, the Notre Dame Preparatory Board and the Baltimore Opera Board. An enthusiastic hunter and sportsman, Mike regularly went on hunting trips for both waterfowl and big game. His proudest catches included pheasant, alligators and wild boars. Mike loved to travel, and made over 50 trips during his lifetime to London and India to enjoy art, architecture and play cricket. He was a student of Roman and Greek art and architecture and the classics. Mike was also a collector of medieval arms and armament, specifically armor piercing katars. He leveraged this knowledge to volunteer on the board for the Walters Art Gallery. A devoted Catholic, Mike had been a parishioner of The Cathedral of Mary Our Queen for over 50 years and was a Knight in the Papal order of the Holy Sepulchre. *************************************************************************************************************** On July 11, 2023 Michael Joseph Abromaitis beloved husband of Carol Nevin “SUE” Abromaitis; dear brother of Joseph C.
