Mike loved his motorcycles, Corvette and other collectibles from movie posters to rare beer cans from all over the world.  He had many memories with friends going to Memphis in May each year and boating on the Lake of the Ozarks. Mike lived a good life working and playing hard.

In 1993, Mike and his family, Jay, Ann and Matt, purchased Tonka Hills Restaurant in Linn Creek, Missouri where Mike worked until 2016. He had many great memories with the customers and coworkers who became friends over the years. Mike was a character and always had people laughing.
