Michael was an easy-going person. He and Terri loved kids and opened their hearts and home to many of them. They have enjoyed being foster parents to many children in need over the past 25 years. They were always interested in having the kids involved in whatever they were doing. He worked at Whirlpool for many years as a supervisor. He and Terri owned and operated several businesses over the years, Dollar Video, Terri’s Country Kitchen, and currently, Wayne’s Auction House.
He loved to go camping, fishing, and chase crabs on the beach with the kids when they vacationed at places like Jekyll Island, GA. He liked to fly kites with them. He was always tinkering on things. He could take just about any item that was broken and fix it up. He liked collecting antiques and other things like Pokemon cards with the kids. He enjoyed going to yard sales and auctions in his spare time. Terri was a good cook and he loved eating her chicken and dumplings. He was a member of the North Warren Church of Christ.
