When he was not working, he played his instruments for whoever would listen. He played the violin, clarinet, cymballa and the saxophone. He entertained with numerous bands and treasured the friendships he made along the way. After he retired, he spent most of his days repairing instruments and giving them away, and spent many afternoons playing for the elderly. Michael was an armchair participant in all sports and enjoyed playing cards with his family and friends. Michael also had a love for ice cream and enjoyed sharing it with his grandchildren. Michael was not much of a traveler, but enjoyed the company of whoever came to visit.
