Michael worked for Ford Motor Company for over 50 years, beginning his career at Bodiford Lincoln Mercury. He also worked for Ben McAdam, Eddie Kidd Ford, Texas Motors Ford and retired from SouthWest Ford. Mike enjoyed traveling the world, hunting, farming, and raising cattle. He was a wonderful dad, pawpaw, and husband and more than anything, he enjoyed spending time with his grandkids. He was present at their births, attended every sporting event and all school programs.
