Michael had 16 years of volunteer service and 2 years of paid service. He was serving the community by being a part of the Level Cross Fire Department. He earned four awards having been voted Firefighter of the Year four times during the years of 1993‚ 1995‚ 1996 and after he died in 2005. This last award was given to his wife and daughter during the Christmas dinner.

We got a camper to go camping in and he also enjoyed Nascar‚ golf and gardening. He is survived by his wife and daughter of the home and two half-sisters. He loved to watch the Andy Griffith Show on T.V.
