A memorial service will be held 12:00 pm Wednesday, June 22nd at the Lakewood Memorial Chapel, 3600 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN. Visitation will begin at 11:30 am. Mike was born October 7th, 1942 in Minneapolis, MN. He graduated from Roosevelt High school in 1960 and Augsburg College in 1964. He was a high school teacher, stock broker, entrepreneur, and wrestling coach. Mike was a very kind and loving man who had a lifelong passion for wrestling, music, family gatherings, friends, traveling, bad dad jokes, jogging suits, olives, artichoke hearts and pickles. Mike is survived by Lynne, his wife of 44 years, and his children Kristen, Jennifer (m. Andrew Westby), Sommer, Jordan (m. Nicholas Lawrence), Blaine and Adam, grandchildren Harrison and Montgomery, siblings Becky, Tom, Pat and Jerry, extended family siblings Dave, Darryl and Kathy, and his loyal dog Pee Wee.
Oh No! I am SO sorry to hear of Mikes passing. He had such a positive attitude, always smiling and being the happy person Mike was. RIP my friend, you will be greatly missed.
Very sorry to hear about Mike. I will notify Andy torvik of his passing as he talked often of him . He is not in the computer age yet. Sure hate turning on mine at times like this.
So sad to hear Mike is gone. I had the privilege of being Mike's teammate on the 1960 City Championship RHS wrestling team. Mike was City champion in the 165 lb. weight division. He was one of the most aggressive wrestlers on our team. When Mike's match started, we would all gather around to watch because he would attack his opponent from the opening whistle and many times that would result in a first round pin. Just an all around great guy, wish I could have spent more time with him in the later years.
Very sorry to hear this. Mike was in my Homeroom, Lunchroom 2. As a result I got to know Mike as a fun person and a friend. I also became a wrestling fan, attending some matches in the Championship year. (I enjoyed this more than watching football). Mike will always have a special place in my memory - he was simply a 'class act'.
