A devoted family man, he was a pillar of support and guidance to his children Robert, Lisa, and Wendy. His true joy came from being an adored grandfather to his eight cherished grandchildren.

Michael devoted considerable time to coaching baseball and basketball, leaving a lasting impression on many young individuals. He was an active member of St. Isidore’s music ministry. He loved golfing with his 'S.B.W.' (Sure Beats Working) friends, organizing poker nights and trips to the casino.
