Mike's greatest love has always been the four-legged kind. Since his early days as a young adult, Mike has never been without at least one, if not several canine companions, always focusing on mixed breed rescue adoptions. Mike loved the outdoors and enjoyed boating, fishing and was talented as an amateur photographer.
