Michael Fatherhee was one of the finest men I knew.He would do anything for anyone the second it was asked of him. He was a hard worker and eager to learn new things.His life was a true celebration, and he never left anything out. He was a truely awesome father, husband, and friend. I have never met a man that loved his wife like he did, and was as proud of their children as he was.
Michael your the definition of a "GREAT MAN" It didn't matter how bad the day was, you could always make me smile. Love you Michael!
