He was an Army veteran of World War II, serving as a technical sergeant in Italy and North Africa.

After his father's death, Mike took over the business and ran it successfully until his retirement in 1988. Mike was a New York Yankees baseball fan. He liked to tease his son-in-laws and friends about how much better the Yankees were than the Detroit Tigers. He had a welcoming smile and a zest for living. He was married to his wife Alice for 54 years. Together they raised three daughters, Sally, Melanie and Dorie, and helped raise their granddaughter, Valerie. Devoted to his family and his church, he constantly gave of himself to others. He was generous and always willing to lend a helping hand, whether tailoring clothes for family and friends, baby-sitting grandchildren, helping with yard work and chores around the house or cooking for family and friends. He enjoyed sharing what he cooked with his family, pastor and friends. He was loyal, dependable and always on time. Mike led by example and was a man of his word. He was active in his church as an usher and clerk and loved to serve his pastors. Called by his doctors "The Iron Man" he passed away on Saturday June 6, 2020.
