Mike was born in Pawtucket, RI, the son of the late Michael Mona Sr. and Bella (Caouette) Mona. He graduated from Tolman High School in 1964 and earned his Bachelor's Degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1968.

Mike loved sports and was a big fan of the Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics and New England Patriots. He enjoyed all types of music, especially music from the 50s and 60s, and attended many concerts over the years. Mike had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to make jokes, often at his own expense. He maintained relationships with friends from his Raytheon days long after retirement, enjoying the camaraderie and conversation. Mike was known for his kindness and his knack for making people feel special. He also had a giant sweet tooth and loved to linger over the pastry section in the supermarket.
