Age 64.

Michael found joy in the simple things he loved most. He had a lifelong passion for harness racing. Known to many as a talented and dependable handyman, he was always willing to lend a hand and fix just about anything. He also enjoyed spending time cooking, baking, and grilling for those he loved. Michael found happiness in bowling, playing softball, and gathering around the table with friends for a game of euchre. 

He adored his beloved cat, Sassy, who brought him constant companionship. He shared a special bond with his daughter, Alexa, especially while watching sports together, creating memories that will be cherished forever. He was also proud of his son, Michael, with whom he shared a love of computers. He was married to his devoted wife, Cindy, for 31 years, and together they built a life full of love and cherished memories. He will be deeply missed.
