Michael was quite the man. Tough as nails yet sweet as honey. So competitive with his golf game although gracious in his few defeats. When i think of Michael i think of the respect he earned from his peers. With all Michael went through over the years, various operations and ailments, he never once complained. Loved his family, worked hard and did things the right way. A legacy we should all hope for.

I have such fond memories of Mike. He and Margaret were one of the first couples my husband and I met when we moved to the neighborhood. I will no doubt feel his absence when the warm weather returns. He was so passionate and took such pride in his home; there was never a blade of grass out of place. "I do the outside and Margaret does the inside" he once told me. He was a wonderful man who always had a loving update about his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with Margaret and the rest of the family during this time of loss.
