CLIFTON PARK – Michael Anthony Gioeni, 52, passed away on Monday, December 23, 2013 at home. Born in Albany, he was the son of Salvatore Gioeni and the late Suzanne (Gregory) Gioeni.

Michael worked for the IBEW Local 236 as an electrician for 27 years. He collected beer steins and money from all around the world.
