Life story

Who was Michael…he was a very loving husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother! He loved his family very much and was someone who was there for anyone no questions asked. He was a very hard worker spending 27 plus years in the postal service and his last few years enjoying his grandkids and being the “Mr.crabs” at the family restaurant Maw’s Kitchen! He was one who was just a phone call away and often his grandkids would make sure to take him up on that offer sometimes multiple times a day◡̈ He devoted his whole life to his family and loved ones , a very much chilled, laid back, peacemaker man..we was very fortunate to have such a human being in our lives!
