I didn\u2019t think it would be something he would want to do but I asked him anyway. On that outing he got seasick. I thought he\u2019d never go again. Not true! Not long after that he took private sailing lessons and passed his written and \u201cdriving\u201d tests. A few years ago he even bought his own boat! He blamed me for the whole thing! I liked that. We had been sailing buddies for years.<\/p>\n<p>Michael touched so many lives &nbsp;throughout his life.
