He resided in Anaheim, CA at the time of his passing. Michael’s family moved to California when he was very young.

He was decorated with the Bronze Star, Air Medal, and Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism in combat, among other medals for service during wartime.

At home, Michael participated in a wide array of industries such as: education, energy, oil drilling, fire fighter training, housing and urban development, work place safety and medical sport-device development; to name a few. For a brief time he distributed newspapers or worked with a popular food manufacturer. An avid philosopher, student of history and English language etymology; he could have easily won Jeopardy if he ever competed. For most people he met, he was always seeking good conversation and a laugh or two.

Michael is survived by his son Michea and daughter Madeline. He was preceded in death by his first wife Marylin Marquis, daughter Michelle Monique, his second wife Lynda Fisher, and his son John Fisher.
