Michael lived by the values of discipline, loyalty and duty while instilling these values in his children and their children. Those who knew him will remember his steady presence, quiet strength, continuous shenanigans and his deep love for his family.

His legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. A man of few words but deep convictions, Michael leaves behind a family strengthened by his guidance, inspired by his resilience, and comforted by memories of his never ending humor and steadfast love.
