A longtime sports enthusiast, he played softball until the age of 50 and was a dedicated New York Jets fan. He loved spending time at the beach and was always the first to share his love for the outdoors. Michael was also known for his great sense of dry humor, which brought laughter to those around him.

A proud worker of Theatrical Teamsters Local 817, Michael worked diligently in the film industry, always committed to his craft and the people he worked with.
