You would never see Mike without a smile on his face; he didn't know a stranger. He had a contagious laugh that brought joy to everyone he would meet. Mike was a fun-loving, hardworking, and selfless man, with a heart bigger than any other. His love for life, perseverance, and strength will live on in all who knew him. Mike enjoyed playing golf, going to the casinos, and watching his grandkids' sporting events. Most of all, he loved his family.
