As a young adult he satisfied his need for speed road biking and driving his Mustang & Porsche.
Mike and Jari were married for 46 years. They loved walking the deserted winter beaches of Cape Cod together. Listening to Billy Joel and Carly Simon as they drove to all the lighthouses. He bought Jari a lighthouse that sits on a hill at their Jeffersonville home.

He loved woodturning and was member of the Woodchuck Turner's of Northern Vermont, Vermont Hand Crafters, and sold his beautiful work under the name Once Turned at craft shows.
Mike was an amazing father to his daughters Jamie & Janet. He loved taking them hiking, fishing, doing puzzles and so much more. He enjoyed spending time with his son-in-law Jason. A very proud Papa to Kayla & Sage, he showed them how to make ice cream.
He became an incredible caregiver for Jamie. Art assistant, swimming coach, he was always willing to help in any way. He was a referee for the VT Chargers power wheelchair soccer team as well as assisting her through the NDAA adaptive Kayaking program along side his good friend Cathy.
Mike had an extreme passion for great music and would often be seen driving his Jeep with music up, windows down and wild hair flying. He also loved mowing his lawn while avoiding all the tennis balls of his beloved Golden Retriever, Bella.
