He graduated from Jackson High School and Spring Arbor University.  He worked at Consumers Energy Company for 33 years. Mike had a great sense of humor with a quick wit. He had a good singing voice and delighted in sharing with any public audience (even to the embarrassment of his kids). He liked reading westerns and losing himself in sci-fi or action movies. He also enjoyed traveling, especially to Dubai, Wisconsin, Colorado and Arizona. And he loved eating donuts! He will be dearly missed by his family and friends including his cat Boo.
