In 1972, he answered the call to serve his country by joining the United States Marine Corps, where he served with honor and distinction.

Following his military service, Michael settled in Trenton, New Jersey, where he began building his life and family with his beloved wife, Linda Powers-Sikorski. Together, they raised a beautiful family, who continue to carry forward his legacy of love and strength.

Michael was a man of many talents and simple joys.

He especially enjoyed taking his family on outings to places such as airports and marinas-memories that will be cherished by all who shared those moments with him.

He passed down many valuable skills, including carpentry, masonry, and the importance of doing things properly around the house. Though he did not have much materially, he gave everything he had to his family and instilled in them the value of hard work, dedication, and craftsmanship.
