Farming was the priority in his life and promoting this career with his dad and brother was important to him. Many personal hours were spent scouting the neighborhoods and farm lands on drives observing the progress of local farmers and crops. He enjoyed woodworking creating handmade wonders for his family and friends. Cooking grew to be his next favorite specialty surprising others with his masterpiece dishes. He worked for several years attending to the needs of others as a caregiver in a home health care setting. Mike, as everyone knew him, had a kind heart. He valued and enjoyed many friendships along his journey of his lifetime. Here too in his card playing skills, especially Sheepshead, he took pleasure with family. He will be fondly remembered and sorely missed by many.
