He was a proud veteran, having served 40 years with the Maryland Air National Guard, completing 2 deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and retiring in 2010, achieving the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. Mike loved to cruise and travel the world with his wife, watching his beloved Baltimore Ravens, but his favorite spot was on the beach.
Mike's journey touched the lives of many, leaving behind cherished memories and a legacy of strength and resilience. He brough immense joy to those fortunate enough to be around him. He was a hard-working man, devoted husband, loving father and a fun-loving Poppy.
He is survived by his wife Sue Bosse, daughters Kathy Phelps and Karen (Norm) Shifflett, stepsons Andrew and Jason Teears, brothers Russell (Linda) and Kevin (Donna) Bosse, sister Carol (Norm) Mitchell, 9 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Nina Bosse.
The family will host a Celebration of Life for friends and family at a later date.
