Following his retirement, he devoted his time, effort, and energy to his family and church community at Holy Name parish, where he passionately volunteered and lived out his Catholic Faith.

Mike was predeceased by his father and his sister Joan M. Morgan (Ron). He is survived by his mother and three sisters: Helen, Denise, and Marian, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
