In his early years he was warehouse manager for American Motors, and later a service manager for EATON Corporation in the Yale Industrial Truck Division. In his retirement is chauffeured for The Associates, which turned out to be his favorite job.

Mike’s hobbies spanned his entire life. He was known for becoming an expert in his hobby of choice. He played racquetball and won many tournaments. He loved the water and always seemed to own a boat. Sailing was his favorite and he worked hard to fulfill the duty of Captain Mike. He loved to golf and was often found out on the links. Later in life, he enjoyed a great game of billiards. Spending hours around a pool table always put a smile on his face. His favorite thing of all was a nice dip in the pool on a hot summer day. On any given weekend Mike could be seen watching his Dallas Cowboys or Texas Rangers with a bowl of potato chips by his side.

He is preceded in death by his parents Genaro and Grazia Miele, his bother Stephen Miele and his sons-in-laws David Linn Peterson and John L Kraft.
