Mike was a loving Husband and father; a hard worker that rarely took time for himself to do the things he loved most, like fishing, fishing, and most of all, fishing. Music was also high on his to-do list. Whether it was listening to the stereo or playing his guitar, you would always hear him humming or singing his favorite tunes. Mike always had a smile on his face, a song on his heart, and was quick to joke around. He will sadly be missed by all that called him Grandpa. This world will not be the same without him in it. Until we meet again and we hear you say “It’s about time!!!’…
