My beloved brother, Michael Butch Santa Pope has left us suddenly this past week and he didn’t leave us a way to give him a proper goodbye so I started this fundraiser to help pay for the wake/funeral home costs.

Please note, service date posted is approximate, as the site wanted a date.

He was a sweet, kind, and giving person. He was Santa Claus to so many children for decades on Long Island, so you may even have a picture of him, with you or your children.

The funeral home needs to know the funds will be coming before we can plan the day of services, some will go to church, but they did waive part of their fee already. He was a Veteran but only the cemetery burial is covered by them. His family and friends would appreciate any help you can give during this difficult time, as we are mourning the loss of a Brother, Godfather, Uncle and good Friend and want to honor his life.

Thank you, his Sister, Helen Z
