Michael had many hobbies and interests; he enjoyed fishing, hunting, watching TV, attending car shows and admiring classic cars. He was also known for being quite a prankster. He enjoyed pulling pranks on family and friends, especially when it came to scaring his grandkids. He lived his life well every day and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
