Michael was a great person and willing to help out anyone who needed it. He loved to spend time with his family. Growing up he would go fishing with his dad, he always looked forward to family BBQs. When his children were growing up he helped coach their various sports teams and was a proud grandfather to his grandson.
Michael went to work at the prison, while working there he got along with everyone, co-workers and inmates alike. He was a father figure to many people and enjoyed helping out children in need.
