He finished his career working for ConAgra in Garner, NC. Mike enjoyed spending time with friends and family. He spent his free time watching sports, reading books and listening to music. He had interest in all sports but his personal favorite was golfing and he thoroughly enjoyed the years he spent as the proud coach of The High Flyers. He loved to read non-fiction books and was quite the history buff. He was known by all to be an admirer of great music and in particular an aficionado of Sir Paul McCartney so much so that his children thought of him as ‘Uncle Paul’. He was a member of the Sycamore Club and a Celebration of Life will be held there beginning at 4 pm on Saturday August 19, 2017. The address is 200 Heritage Dr., Terre Haute, IN 47803.
