Mike loved tennis, movies, ping-pong, dancing, playing cards, sunbathing in his pool with Judy, working around his house, nice cars, the beach, talking about politics, exercising, reading, his church parish, his clients and career, entertaining at his home and being with his wife, his children, his grandchildren, friends and clients.
Mike was a man filled with genuine faith, vision, passion, drive and a positive outlook on life. He never worried as his Christian faith was unwavering, and he was always ready for a challenge. His dedication to his family, his church, his community, and his country were felt by all who knew him.
Mike will be forever remembered for the many wonderful things he did for others. He will be missed deeply.
