Michael served with honor our country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War; served with diligence the state of New Mexico as the Secretary of Corrections; served with pride the city of Albuquerque as the Director of the BCDC; served with solidarity and tenacity Laborers as an officer and business agent of I.A.T.S.E. Local 423 as well as an officer on the Executive Board of A.F.L.-C.I.O. His absence will only be physical as his spirit and drive continues to serve those to whom over the many years he lent guidance and taught diligence and individuals in various fields to learn, grow and prosper.
