Michael was ushered into this world with fireworks on July 1st, 1939. He exited this world on a bright and sunny day, February 22nd, 2021 with his adored son by his side. Michael had many fish stories for all his fellow camp buddies at Lac Des Milles Lac. Every year he was the first one to arrive and the last one to leave for 27 years. There was nothing better to do than play cribbage with the boys when they weren't on the lake. During the winter months he would make fishing tackle for everyone and loved to do woodworking, especially making birdhouses.
