Syracuse before settling in Ithaca, NY, in 2000. Michael had an
entrepreneurial spirit and started Lightspeed Motorsports in 1999, which took
him across the United States to various racing circuits. Michael was known for

2002, Michael continued to live his life to the fullest, utilizing his
leadership skills to coordinate travels with friends to Spain, Italy, Prague
and the California wine country. Friends and family will miss Michael's sense
of character, strength, positive energy and pure spirit. He accepted people
for who they were and was enriched as a result. Melissa will continue to honor
Michael's motto to pursue your dreams, and both encourage all who knew and
loved Michael to do the same. Michael lives on in our hearts as that spark to
pursue learning, love and life. You will honor him to act on your dreams and
to live each day to its fullest potential. As Michael always said, "Always try
your best - it's all that family, friends and God can ask for." Survivors
