Michael knew few stangers. He was outgoing, warm, and genuine. His patience was extraordinary. He was generous with his time, energy, and abilities. His love as a husband, father, son, brother, and in-law has no boundaries. While his passion for "collecting" caused anxiety with me, as his wife, it became an accepted and quirky part of Michael's character which has endeared him to all. We will miss him dearly and know that we cannot replace his presence. However, his love and memories will remain forever strong in our hearts now and for the rest of time.
