Michael was the type of person that had a never-ending desire to go and renew his energies by experiencing new places and meeting new people. Michael was a free spirit who had traveled and resided in 8 different states in 15 years always returning to Masssachusetts to connect with family. He had the ability to become close friends with people from all walks of life. If you met him along the way, you would feel as though you had known him for quite awhile.
He was an avid baseball fan and loved the Fantasy Baseball League. He was interested in baseball stories to Bible stories. His ability to remember batting averages of players and psalms and proverbs (line by line) was uncanny.
His desire for adventure also brought him to Michigan, where he studied the life of the Wolfe trying to understand their thinking and habits. Oceangraphy became another interest at one time, as he often talked about whales. He always had an unusual attachment to the telephone. Michael needed and relied on conversing and being in contact with friends and family. He found comfort in knowing they were"just a phone call away". He never used a cellular phone to store numbers --they were all memorized.
He enjoyed playing ball etc, when in the area, with his nieces and nephews. Michael, had an insatiable curiosity about so many things. His love for music took him from Southern Blues to Rock. His desire to live life large allowed him to enter the limelight of concerts and backstage with Gregg Allman and Butchie Trucks of The Allman Brothers Band.
Michael you made mistakes, but then again we all have. If we can take something from this tragedy let it be that we: Lighten up, not take things so seriously and go for what one thinks one wants. Your laugh and persona will be sorely missed.
Besides his parents, Michael is survived by two daughters, Lauren Burke of Stanton, Iowa and Courtney Carmilia of W. Yarmouth, Mass. Cherished brother of Christine A. and her husband Anthony F. Balzotti of Wakefield and Lisa A. and her husband Joel J. Magliozzi of Medford.
