Michael was also one of the original DJs when Radio Clyde launched in the 1970s.
He was born in Devon and named Cecil Edward Buckland, later changing his name to Glen Michael when he decided to try for a career in showbusiness.
As a teenager he went to London to try his luck as an entertainer, and later served in the RAF during World War II.
During this time he met his wife Beryl, who he married in 1947 and who he also worked with in an onstage double act – Michael and Raye.
His life changed when he moved to the Scotland in the early 1950s for a six week run with Scottish comedian Jack Milroy.
The six week run stretched into 13 years of touring and performing in theatres across the country, along with TV appearances alongside Milroy and Rikki Fulton’s famed double act Francie and Josie.
When Milroy moved to London, Michael, who had settled in Prestwick, was asked to audition for Cartoon Cavalcade.
He continued to be busy until his death, recently recording a video as an ambassador for service veterans charity Erskine.
He also supported Age UK with their charitable work.
His wife died several years ago but he is survived by his children Yonnie and Christopher and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
His family said they were thankful to all the medical professionals and at home carers who helped look after him.
