Michael put his gift of working with his hands into projects to create a compound for sports activities for his growing sons at their home in Michigan. Michael’s artistic eye for the possibility in any project was forward thinking including building and restoration of homes in Michigan and Florida

Michael developed his commitment of ethics, hard work, and helping others in childhood and never wavered from this trait during his life. Michael was known for his quiet and kind demeanor.
