Michael Taft Obituary
Mike served his country in the United States Army in Vietnam. He retired after 35 years of service from the Boy Scouts of America. Mike was a long time volunteer at Irish Fest. He greatly enjoyed listening to Irish music and drinking Irish Whiskey. Mike had a big personality and was known as being larger than life. A very social man, Mike made friends everywhere he went and always had a joke for you. The amount of wisdom that he passed on to his family and friends can not be calculated.
