Mike is remembered by his loving wife of 38 years, Karen; children Kristen, Jason, and Jeremy; brother Ronald (Jean); cousin Eric (Rhonda) Bergson; and many friends. Mike had a successful career as an insurance agent for several firms. After retirement, he enjoyed archery, fishing, and writing novels. For many years, he was a member of the Writers Group at the Geauga County Public Library in Chardon. In his younger years, Mike studied to be an artist and was overjoyed to return to his art later in life. He was an excellent cook and never shied away from trying something new. He spent a lot of time with his family and friends. Mike was enthusiastic about life and brought so much joy to those around him. He will be dearly missed.
