Michael’s greatest joy was spending quality time with those he loved. Remembered fondly as a true family man, he loved spending time with his daughter. With Lindsay by his side, they could be fishing off the end of the dock, skidooing, shoveling snow, relaxing by a fire or simply enjoying each others company watching golf on a Saturday. His love and guidance was always present in any activity that they did.
