became a project manager for Performance and Signature and at the time of his death completed work for Cust O Fab. Michael was proudest of his two children, Hunter Scott and Hallie Nichole Monk. The hero in his life was his grandfather, Bill Kerry,
who taught him to work hard. His saving grace was his grandmother, Betty Kerry.
