Michael was one of the most exuberant, joyful, people I've ever known. He had a tremendous, generous heart; a deep love of family; and a wonderful zest for life. Whenever I think of him, I always think of his beautiful, bright smile and his boisterous, booming laugh that made everyone laugh right along with him. We're sure going to miss him.
