Mike was a proud father to his two daughters and a doting Papa to his four grandchildren. He was a man of integrity, known as caring and trustworthy. He was admired for his strong work ethic, organizational skills and positive attitude. Mike treasured family lake time up North, motorcycles, traveling, Friday date nights and the theater. He will be forever missed!
