Restaurant raising money for family of co-worker who died in car accident

A RESTAURANT CHAIN IN THE FM AREA IS RAISING MONEY FOR THE FAMILY OF ONE THEIR CO- WORKERS WHO DIED IN A CAR WRECK NEAR THIEF RIVER FALLS LAST WEEK. MICHAEL BUCKLEY WAS THE GENERAL MANAGER AND PART OWNER AT THE HARDEE’S IN WEST FARGO. IN MAY, WE INTERVIEWED HIM FOR RESTAURANT REPORT CARD BECAUSE THIS HARDEE’S LOCATION RECEIVED THE CLEAN PLATE AWARD. MICHAEL WORKED AT HARDEES FOR ALMOST TWENTY YEARS. THOSE WHO WORKED WITH HIM SAY HE DEDICATED HIMSELF TO TWO THINGS. HIS FAMILY AND HIS JOB. “MICHAEL WAS FUN TO BE AROUND. LOT OF HIS EMPLOYEES JUST LOVED WORKING FOR HIM. HE WAS VERY EASY TO GET ALONG WITH. HE WAS ALWAYS JOKING, HE HAD FUN WHILE HE WORKED. FOR ME, WHATEVER I ASKED MICHAEL TO DO, HE WOULD DO FOR ME.” MICHAEL LEAVES BEHIND 5 KIDS. HIS GIRLFRIEND, AMBER DANZIEN WHO ALSO DIED IN THE CAR WRECK, HAD TWO KIDS. BOTH OF THEIR GO FUND ME ACCOUNTS CAN BE FOUND IN THIS STORY ON VALLEY NEWS LIVE DOT COM.
