MICHAEL J. SCINTO, FHS FLYERS CLASS of 1970 Michael J. Scinto, age 68, of Tipp City, OH, passed away Monday, November 16, 2020. He was born July 24, 1952, in Memphis, TN, to Joseph F. and Adele (Wilbanks) Scinto Sr., who precede him in death. He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Katherine (Jessup) Scinto; children, Zachary Scinto and Carly Rose Scinto of Tipp City, OH; and brother, Joseph (FBHS-74) F. (Connie, FBHS-75) Scinto Jr., of Fairborn, OH. Mike's gift of gab and his strong opinions served him well as a longtime Dayton area radio talk show host working at WAVI, WING, WHIO, and WDAO. Frequently, he filled in for the nationally syndicated Mike Gallagher Show. Even after retirement from radio, Mike found Facebook as another platform to continue to express his views on many topics. He started a "breakfast club" to keep in touch with all of his broadcasting buddies. Mike was a longtime member of the Ginghamsburg Church in Tipp City. He had a strong faith and his passion was being a cabin counselor at the church summer camp for Zak and the other boys. Mike and Kathy are part of a small group of church friends that have been together for 25 years. Mike was a wonderful husband and father. He and Zak went to breakfast at Big Boy every Friday morning before school. He also acted as a coach for Zak's various soccer teams. He was always there for Carly before and after school. A very sentimental husband, he always remembered birthdays and anniversaries with beautiful flowers and gifts. He loved Dragons baseball. He and Kathy had season tickets in Section 105 for many years, developing friendships with many other fans and always starting and ending the season with a party. His love of the Cincinnati Bengals kept him as a faithful fan even through the "Bungles" years. Mike enjoyed visiting Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains where he accumulated a large walking stick collection. Another lifelong hobby involved raising and breeding domestic doves and finches. He was an avid amateur photographer whose favorite subjects included wild birds around Tipp City, sunsets, and local nature spots. Social events always ended with Mike insisting on a group photo often to the chagrin of the participants. Mike's time on earth was much too short, but it was full of love, joy, and fun, trusting that God would welcome him home one day. He has left an indelible mark on many people and will be greatly missed! In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the following:
