Michael worked at electric boat  for over 10 years; he was a handyman and anytime his family  or friends needed him Michael was there, it didn’t matter what time it was if he could get to you, he was there —Michael loved teaching you how to do whatever job he was doing.  If you were standing there he was teaching you. Michael loved old school music, having his yard sales every day. When Michael wasn’t working, he was always selling something.  He was a loving father, brother, uncle and friend to everyone. To know Michael is to know he always had a contagious smile and was ready to tell a joke at a drop of a hat.
