Michael John Enright Sr.

Michael John Enright, Sr., also known to many as Mr. Enright, Uncle Mike, or simply, Mike, aged 84 years (and a day), of Yeadon, Pennsylvania, passed away on February 2, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Born on February 1, 1942, in Philadelphia, PA, Mike was the son of Joseph P. Enright and Christina (Bach) Enright. In 1963, Mike married Marianne Curran, and together they settled in Ridley Park, PA, where they raised their three children and made lifelong friends on Lakeview Drive. Mike was raised in Yeadon and attended St. Louis Elementary School, later graduating from Monsignor Bonner High School in 1960. During his youth, he was an enthusiastic member of the Boy Scouts of America, ultimately achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. His childhood included the adventure of a lifetime—a memorable trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Mike earned his associate’s degree in Drafting and Design from Temple University and began his professional career with General Electric. While working full-time, he continued his education through Drexel University’s night program, proudly completing his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 1974. Throughout his long and fulfilling engineering career, Mike traveled extensively across Europe, Canada, and the United States, always returning with the perfect airport souvenir for his family. As a power distribution engineer, he took great pride in the projects he worked on, the people he collaborated with, and the places his work allowed him to explore. Mike dedicated more than 40 years to serving youth and supporting his community through a wide range of programs and volunteer efforts. He played a key role in the Ridley Junior ABA, introducing local youth to basketball through clinics and high‑level competitive tournaments that encouraged skill‑building and teamwork. His commitment to education was equally strong: he volunteered with STEM and mathematics competitions—including Mathletics, the Temple OWLympiad, and Girls in Engineering Math & Science (GEMS) —where he served as both a judge and a mentor, inspiring students to challenge themselves academically. Michael also devoted many years to Prince William County 4‑H as an adult volunteer, a certified shooting instructor, a contest judge, and an enthusiastic supporter of youth development programs. Through every effort, he consistently shared his time, talents, and encouragement to help young people grow, achieve, and thrive. Mike was a true motorhead—a lover of auto racing, NASCAR, powerful engines, and time spent “under the hood.” Many cherished hours were shared repairing cars with his father, son, friends, many family members, and any neighbor who needed help. A lifelong Philadelphia sports fan, he proudly held season tickets for both the Philadelphia Eagles and Philadelphia Flyers. Later in life, he found joy in playing golf with family and never turned down a good T-bone or Porterhouse steak. Mike’s humor, generosity, and steady presence made him deeply special to all who knew him. Mike is survived by his wife of 62 years, Marianne, son Michael Enright, Jr., daughters Margaret O’Leary and MaryBeth Lerch (Alan), his beloved grandchildren: Jessica Enright (Nate Madden), Marie Lerch (Clay Brumbaugh), David Lerch (Megan), Emily Lerch, Carly O’Leary, and Jack O’Leary, and his great-grandchild, Parker Lerch; his sister Mary Mullen, brother James Enright, and his buddy, his pal, Monty the dog. Michael was preceded in death by his grandson, John Enright, his brother Joseph Enright, and his parents, Christina and Joseph Enright. --- Services Visitation will be held on 3/21/2026 at 11:00am at Pierce’s Funeral Home Funeral/Memorial services will follow.
