He attended Plymouth High School graduating with the class of 1968. In 1992 Michael and Mishelle were married in Plymouth and they would share 31 years of marriage together. Known for the work that he could do with his hands, Michael worked construction for most of his life. Everything from decks, fences, concrete and steel buildings, there isn’t anything he couldn’t do with his hands.

Michael was a free spirit, simple man, also someone who was well put together, that could be a little outspoken at times. However, he had a soft spot for those who knew him well and was known as a fuzzy bear on the inside.  He was a creative man that had a vision to see a masterpiece before it was created or built. In his spare time, he enjoyed riding his Harley’s. Michael had a love for sport’s as well, from playing and coaching fastpitch softball to watching basketball, football and Nascar.

He belonged to Abate, the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge, 741 and to the Plymouth American Legion Post #27.
