Mike was a devoted husband and father, always putting his family first. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering support were felt by all who knew him. He will be remembered for his warm smile, intellectual conversations, his candor, and his passion for life. Mike was very patriotic, with a deep love for the Constitution, this country, and his heritage.

Mike had a variety of hobbies that brought joy to his life and those around him. He was always ready for a game of poker or chess, loved to go fishing, enjoyed watching sports, and was a scout leader for many years. His skills in woodworking were admired by many and he could fix just about anything. Mike also had a talent for cooking, hosting delicious meals with family and friends, often including items from his own garden.

Throughout his engineering career Mike was an innovative problem-solver, a patent inventor, and a dependable resource. Through his hard work and determination, Mike eventually fulfilled his dream of starting his own successful business in the air quality industry.
