SENNA, Michael Lawrence
Out beloved husband, father, and grandfather passed into the loving arms of God on May 21, 2011, at the age of 64. Born and raised in Sacramento, Mike grew up in River Park, and was in the first graduating class at St. Mary's Elementary school and in the last co-ed graduating class of Bishop Armstrong. In 1967, he married Janis Fisher, his bride of 43 years and mother to their three children. Mike graduated from the Highway Patrol Academy in 1968, and served in various places throughout the state. He retired as Asst. Chief of Valley Division in Sacramento in 2002. He also is a graduate of the National FBI Academy. An avid hunter and outdoorsmen for most of his life, one of Mike's favorite places to sit was around a campfire. His humor and storytelling were two of his most memorable and endearing qualities. He and Janis enjoyed towing their trailer on road trips and being with good friends - golfing, hiking, playing cards, and enjoying the good life together. As a father, husband, and 'Pop,' he was committed to his family. He is survived by his wife, Janis (Fisher) and father-in-law, Bud Fisher; three children, Stacy, Courtney, Matthew, son-in-law Josh, and daughter-in-law Danielle; and two grandchildren, Ruby and Benjamin. Funeral services will be private. There will be a gathering of family and friends at Vince's Restaurant in Elk Grove on June 17 from 1- 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers the family has asked that remembrances be made to the California Highway Patrol's 11-99 Foundation, or the charity of your choice.
