Mike was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA., before moving to Manahawkin, N.J. in the mid 70's. Mike, together with his wife Linda, raised their two sons, Michael and Jamison (Jay) there.
Mike worked for OXY Chemical for 35 years, upon his retirement, he then worked as a bartender at the Beach Haven Moose Lodge literally until the day before he passed. Football Sundays will never be the same without him.
Mike enjoyed hunting in his early years. Mike's love for fishing was well known by all who knew him, he and Kelly spent countless hours fishing the Barnegat Bay, competing to see who would catch the biggest fish. "We won't say who won" lol. They were great fishing partners and she will miss those times greatly.
Mike and Kelly also enjoying shooting pool, and shooting darts. Mike also enjoyed playing the Lottery and usually won! And if you couldn't find him, you could hear him snapping tickets at the pool tab machine. He truly enjoyed Life. Mike "LOVED" to play golf, he loved playing and teaching his buddies the game.
Everyone who met Mike loved him, he had a heart of gold and would help anyone who needed him.
He had a smile for everyone.
Kelly will forever be grateful for the short time they had together and the many laughs they had. They truly found a special love in each other that never will be matched or forgotten.
A heart may break but it never forgets!!
