Michael loved living in California. His hobbies were surfing at Huntington Beach and Newport

Beach, playing tennis, riding his bike along the beach trails, BBQing, and good Mexican food! He

and playing “drums” with his sons, on the dashboard of his car.

Michael loved his family; his mom was his best friend. They enjoyed talking and laughing over
