Michael moved to Florida in 1982 and remained there for most of the remainder of his life. He worked as a Mail Carrier, retiring after thirty years of service. Michael then spent his time golfing and working on home improvement projects.

Pop Pop was a gift to his family, children and grandchildren. He lived, laughed, gave and loved in a way that was infectious to those around him. He will be missed
