He was a distinguished Architect, artist, and jazz musician, but he embraced that his greatest accomplishment and joy was his dedication to his family.

Surviving Michael are his loving wife, Ruth R., four children, & 5 grandchildren.

Family and friends are invited to visit from 7-9pm on Tuesday, February 28th, at Riggs Funeral Home on Route 9 in Forked River. A funeral mass will be held at St. Stephen’s Church on Route 9 in Waretown at 11am on February 29th; interment will follow at Brigadier General William C. Doyle cemetery in Wrightstown.
