Michael retired from US Steel Iron Works in South Chicago, Illinois with 25 years of dedicate service.  He was ever so proud of becoming a US Citizen and helped many families immigrate to the United States from Ukraine. Michael was an avid gardener. He loved his vegetable and flower gardens and grew some of the best roses in Northwest Indiana.  He was dedicated to the Ukrainian Catholic Church and was a lifelong parishioner at St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church in Munster, Indiana. In lieu of flowers, donations to the church would be appreciated.
