Notes:

Michael's parents were Geraldine Cecilia Obenland (nee Huston) and Harold Edwin Obenland. Michael was born at Cedar's of Lebanon Hospital (now Cedar's Sinai). He was baptized at Holy Angels Catholic Church, in Arcadia, CA on March 7, 1948. His Sponsors were his great aunt, Marion Gillis and her husband, Hector.

Michael's parents divorced in 1953, however, they had been living apart for at least one year prior to that. Michael grew up in Arcadia, Los Angeles County, CA with his mother and sister. The two children were taken care of by their maternal grandmother, Emma Cecilia Price, who lived with them until her death in 1962.

Michael was married twice. First to Sherry Chrisinger on Dec. 12, 1970 in Monrovia, CA. They had two children before divorcing: Tracey Dionne Obenland (1971-2011) and Julie Marie Obenland.

He later married Rosanna Jean Krajcik. Two children were born in this marriage: Marcia Marie Obenland, born in Los Angeles on March 12, 1978. Another child was found on the California Birth Index at Ancestry.com as being born to them on December 21, 1976, in Los Angeles. She is listed there as both Lisa A. Obenland and Lisa A. Krajcik. However, the state of California has said they have no record of this birth. Maybe she was adopted, as Michael and Rosanna had many problems in life. Michael and Rosanna were divorced in Los Angeles County, CA. Date unknown.

On Oct. 19, 1992, Michael was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times regarding panhandlers. He said, "I'm manic-depressive. Both my wife (Rosanna) and I have been in many mental institutions. We have both had electric shock treatments over and over. We weren't born this way on purpose. My wife and I are both on disability. We each get $595 per month. Our rent, $597, takes half of that. Soon the state will cut us back $35 each per month. We could end up homeless again, like we were for a year and a half. Governor Wilson needs to be recalled. He doesn't care about the poor. See this brace I'm wearing for my spine? I need steroid shots, but they're not covered on Medicare. I need tranquilizers for my nerves, but they're not covered by Medicare. I've thought sometimes of suicide. Things are getting worse. About five months ago, I started getting up at 3 AM to go out with a flashlight to get bottles and stuff out of trash cans. It's so shabby everywhere. I'd say one-eighth of the people I ask give me money. The most I ever got? About $5. But mostly it's chump change, just enough so I can take my wife to Denny's for an iced tea or something."

Michael died at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital of pneumonia, a complication of COPD. His sister, Cecilia, did not find out about his death until a year or so later. She picked up his ashes from LA County on May 17, 2006, where they now reside on a shelf in her home next to their mother's ashes.
