Michael enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved hunting, fishing, and Polka music. If you ever needed something fixed all you had to say was take it to the shop and Dad (pap) can fix it. If you asked Michael how he was doing his famous reply would be “Mean, Miserable, Tired, Ornery and Cantankerous.” His smile was contagious, and he always brought joy to everyone around him.
