A devoted member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Sterling, IL, Mike found great joy in his faith and community. He was a former member of the Morrison Country Club and Lake Erie Country Club in Erie. A man of many interests, Mike loved woodworking, gardening, and yardwork. He had a lifelong love for sports and was an avid reader who never missed his daily crossword and Sudoku puzzles. Playing cards with family and friends was one of his favorite pastimes. Above all, he treasured the time spent with his grandchildren, always offering his support, wisdom, and warmth. For 15 wonderful years, he and Mary enjoyed wintering in Myrtle Beach, making countless memories together. Mike was a devoted husband, father, bapa, brother, and friend. He was always there to lend a helping hand-whether it was home renovations, homework help, or simply offering a listening ear. His kindness, patience, and generosity touched the lives of all who knew him.
