Michael was friendly and could strike up a conversation with anyone. If he hadn’t seen you in a while he would still talk to you like it was yesterday. He was good at everything and thought of as a “jack of all trades and master of none” by his family. Michael was always looking for a bargain and couldn’t pass up a good yard sale. Go Karts were a favorite of his whether he was fixing them or riding them with his family and friends, especially his grandkids. He also enjoyed riding motorcycles and snowmobiles, going to car shows and tractor pulls, as well as fireworks! Michael was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend that will be dearly missed by all.
