Born in Belleville, N.J., Michael lived most of his life in Livingston, N.J., and the last twenty-three years in East Hanover. Michael will be remembered for his big heart and the smiles and laughter he brought to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. His heart was enormous even in death, he chose to improve someone else’s life with the gift of organ, tissue and eye donations.
Michael was self employed and the owner of Auto Imports; Auto Repair and Used Car Dealership. His favorite hobbies included: weight lifting, motorcycle riding, boating, but what brought him the most joy was helping people in need and animal rescue.

Michael also leaves behind many loving friends, and family members, as well as his adoring four legged best friend, Freckles. Michael will be deeply missed by his number one best friend; his son.
