He spent 15 years as a carrier with the United States Postal Service. Mike was married for 24 years to his wife, Mary Lou, and his treasures were his two daughters, Julie (23) and Kelli (17). Mike enjoyed life in its simplicity. He was and will continue to be an example to many. The lives that he touched were countless. Mike served a living God and his life was a testimony. He was a humble man, who found the passion in life in his 1984 Toyota pickup, listening to his favorite Rock 'n' Roll tunes, watching the Lakers, and sharing precious time with his family. Mike is survived by his wife, Mary Lou; two daughters, Julie and Kelli; brothers, Pat, Jack and Tim; and sister, Nancy. Mike's life will be celebrated.
