One of Michael's lifelong passions was cars. Michael enjoyed spending time with his daughter, Erin. He enjoyed good food and socializing with friends and family. Reading car magazines, drawing funny pictures, and telling silly jokes were some of the fun things he enjoyed. He will be remembered for his love for conversation and his boisterous, loving laughter.
