Michael lived a thousand lifetimes in one. He graduated from Burncoat Sr. High School. Michael followed his dreams into law enforcement beginning his career at Broward County Sheriffs Office in Fort Lauderdale, FL, completing their police academy and joining on as a Deputy Sheriff. Later, moving back to Massachusetts he graduated from Boston Police K9 Academy with his partner, Luger and following they both joined Ashby Police Department. Moving back to Pennsylvania, he was named the 'new kid on the block' and youngest Chief of Police of Millcreek Township in Newmanstown, PA. We mentioned that Michael lived a thousand lifetimes in one, right? Ok….Michael returned to Massachusetts, opening and operating West Boylston Street Beach in Worcester., a staple to anyone that lived in the Burncoat area in the 90s! After selling his business, he headed up PACSAR Search & Rescue in Pennsylvania which was a huge love of his. Michael continued training dogs until current.

Michael's friends and family knew his laugh whenever he entered the room, and everyone was greeted with a hug and kiss, followed by a joke. Michael's sense of humor and love for his friends and family was inspiring. He will always be remembered as a son, a dad, a brother, an uncle, a nephew, a godson and friend who everyone loved and cared about deeply. Michael was truly a kind wonderful soul who will be forever missed but forever felt. With a personality so strong as his, his loved ones know he will always be in the room. He will always be remembered as a son, a dad, a brother, an uncle, a nephew, a godson and friend who everyone loved and cared about deeply.
