He enjoyed building. He built rockets and spacecraft for Grumman, birdhouses and furniture in his workshop, but most importantly he built a great family. He taught us many valuable lessons. Focus on your goals. He taught unconditional love, how to build great relationships and great reputations- the foundation of his legacy. He gave us all the tools to endure and the strength to be resilient. If you were lucky enough to know MJM, you were blessed. He will forever be our role model, the architect of who we have become. Mike had a zest for life and living the way he wanted… In the words of Frank Sinatra “I Did it My Way”.
