Mike enjoyed cooking and entertaining his family and friends – most of the time you would find him in his outdoor kitchen. Mike never met a stranger and he would talk to anyone he came across. He will be remembered as a “one-of-a-kind” and a “happy-go-lucky” person. Mike had a huge heart and loved to help people; he was the backbone of his family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
