I can only read between the lines.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We haven&#x27;t heard much from the family and understandably so. That has always been very much a part of Michael and the family&#x27;s way to keep everything very private, very secretive.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;That has carried on from his racing days.

But it was mainly buttoned shirts which he would love to rip off.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;That was the fun side of him.
