Michael loved old movies, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and rock and roll. He loved parties, dancing and good conversation. He loved his many books on Hollywood, music and movies. He had looked forward to a trip to Graceland before he became ill. He spent his days at Hope Senior Center in Aptos where he enjoyed the many activities they offered. He had fun trips to Las Vegas, Laughlin and Disneyland with his housemates at Aptos Country Home. Michael is survived by sisters Mary Lou Jaquith of Corralitos and Kathryn Grayson of Bend, Oregon.
