Michael moved to the states in 1968, and lived in Ohio, California, Texas and Colorado over the last almost 50 years.

With his best friend MD (for My Dog) by his side, he enjoyed the laid back lifestyle the city provided. Due to his failing health, he relocated back to Texas in 2013 to be closer to his adult children.
