I was always enamored of Michael but my cousin Dinah captured him . I loved watching him play football at Westminster High School as Dinah cheered him on. A lovely and devoted couple they were the epitome of a Christ based marriage . Michael had a truly amazing life and was able to garner many special award and memories . He will be sorely missed but HEAVEN HAS BENEFITED
