Michael was a proud loving devoted father, grandfather, husband, cousin, friend and just in all the jack of all trades. He loved music, he wrote his own abit of everything from poetry, songs, to little stories and jokes he enjoyed telling.
He worked in fisheries for some time and loved what he did. He worked the census and travelled all over northern Canada.
He had a song sent to Nashville, Tennessee where he sent a song of his to a record company and had his song recorded and published by a hired local country Nashville singer, song is called 'The Real Deal'.
Michael loved playing the guitar and teaching his kids how to play, he dabbled in drums in his teens but remained with his guitar fully. His all time favorite band is was Motlëy Cruë. He loved to sing, going for walks and listening to his music, excercising, cooking, construction/building and did odd jobs.
The most he adored more in the world though is his grandchildren, he always made sure they were happy and got what they wanted and always made sure he got to be with his grandbabies whenever he could. His children and grandchildren were the highlight of his life. He was a quiet humble respectable man and he will be greatly missed. At the Promised Lands he is now home. No more pain, no more sorrow.
