Although I didn't know Mr. Michael personally, it was evident that he was a kind, fun- loving, family man. I was able to acertain these attributes from the eyes & stories of his daughter, Tamara. She would always light up and exude such love for her "daddy" when she spoke about him. I do know the world was better because Mr. Michael graced it with his life.

It was a long time before I knew his name was 'Michael'. I met him as Gator. I would see him around our place of work, eventually working with him as a Steward. I used to tell him he reminds me of my brother, and that's how I thought of him.
My condolences to his family, and my prayers for their strength, peace and comfort. He is missed by all who knew him.
