He also was a former member of the Rio Grande Fire House. He is survived by his loving wife of almost 50 years, Eleanore (nee Horn) and children Megan and Matthew (Jennifer).

Dear Eleanore, 2/27/22
Just got news of Mike's passing tonight. Tried to call a couple times with no success. I'll always owe Mike a debt of appreciation for his kindness and toleration towards me when we all got out of the service. From the obituary it sounds like he had a full and productive life. Hats off folks, a great guy has just left the room. RIP Michael
