Michael loved to fish and explore the outdoors. He always enjoyed finding new fishing spots. He was also a hunter who liked to hunt with his dogs and his best friend Paul White.
Michael’s love for nature was only surpassed by the love of his two grandsons, Michael was the proud "Beepa" to John, Jr., “JJ” and Joseph “Joe-Joe” Curtis who simply adored him, and he was proud to be their “Beepa”. They were the lights of his life and he never smiled more or was happier then when he was around them. They were one of the main reasons he kept fighting so long, so he could have more time with them and watch them grow up.
