He was predeceased by parents Verna and Nick, brother John, stepson Edward and stepdaughter Linda. Mike loved being with his family and was always thrilled to spend time with them. He was fond of gardening and yard work and was also an avid golfer. He enjoyed travelling and cruises. He vacationed numerous times with Kay in Hawaii and spoke fondly of the Big Island.
