Michael loved a good party surrounded by family and friends with great food, spirits, music, and dancing. He was a caring, gentle, and generous man loved by all his family and friends. Michael enjoyed his time with his girlfriend Martha Conley and the family is very grateful for their loving relationship and the joy and companionship she provided for him the last few years of his life. While Michael did not enjoy good health this last year, the family finds comfort in knowing he is in the arms of our loving father dancing again with his heavenly family and friends.
