Truly enjoyed working with Michel on the Youth Board. He always greeted me with a big smile when working at Cayuga Med. He contributed so much, to so many.

I had the opportunity to work with Michel at Babcock Poultry Farm. He was always a very knowledgeable and kind man with a wonderful personality. Later years he was often seen at many sporting events in Trumansbug, and working with the youth in our town. RIP Michel.

When I think of Michel, I think of a quiet man with a generous heart and smile. I see him wave as he pops up from behind the tall bounty of his prized garden. A short walk to mine,then a few words spoken to share what was growing well and what was not thriving that season. He would offer a few plants or some succulent produce to share. What a good garden buddy, friend and neighbor! As I look across the road and I know he is no longer there, his garden stands quiet and my heart weeps. I am deeply sorry for your loss, Chris & Steve.

I was deeply saddened by the death of Michel. I worked with him at Babcock's and he was so easy to get along with. He was a gifted man. He spoke often of his sons. In more recent years, every time I had something done at Convenient Care Center, I ran into Michel and we had a little chat regarding our families and hobbies. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Steve and Chris and families, I am very sorry for the loss of your Dad. He was a great person. My husband, Don and your Dad worked at Babcock's for years together. They always had a great time working with each other. Don passed away 6 years ago--Michel attended Don's service and sent cards. Your Dad was a very talented man--he helped Don do a couple of things at my house. My thought are with you and your families. Kathy
