Mike loved God and his country. He was a proud Navy veteran, having served during the Vietnam conflict. His lifelong career as a professional truck driver took him to all 49 continental states and many Canadian provinces. He drove over a million miles without incident and delighted in every new road.
Mike is survived by his wife of 44 years, Corinna; his son David and daughter in law Julie; and many extended family and friends.
