Tire and Rubber for over 30 years, starting as a union rubber worker,

moved up to supervisor, which lead to his position as an international

trainer in Goodyear’s plant expansions throughout the world.

Mike (Dad) was also instrumental in starting up the Ellet Pee Wee football team

in Akron, serving as the team’s first commissioner. His love for the piano

always took second place to his family, but the memories of Dad playing

“Sentimental Journey” after dinner with Mom beautifully singing so all can hear

is a priceless gift and memory his children will always cherish. In 1982, Mike and Pat

moved to Ft. Myers Florida for that warm retirement, eventually living out their

remaining years at the Shell Point Retirement Community.
