He was a conscientious steward of the land he farmed, with a deep respect for nature and all growing things. He was also a passionate gardener, able to make anything grow. His interests included bicycling, fishing, and camping. Michael’s greatest love was his wife and children. He is remembered as a quiet gentle person who was content to sit back, watch, and listen.
