He loved life and his family and dear friends that he considered “family”. He believed in working hard and playing harder. He wanted to give his wife the world / everything her heart desired; which included giving her a child. For Michael, he was very proud to have a child that would be a gift to all. He wanted only what was best for his son. He wanted his son to know the world and see the world through loving eyes. In the last two years of his life he lived out his dream. He worked at a small family owned hotel on the beach and to make sure that his family would enjoy living life without being confined to the winter cold and snow and ice of Massachusetts and to live life and be free. He encouraged everyone to live their dream and to work at making their dream a reality.
