Mike was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus Council #10474. Mike coached little league baseball for 23 years through Red Land Little League and held a board position for many years. He had a passion for working with kids teaching them a sport that he loved and the life lessons that go along with organized sports. Sports were a lifelong passion of his. He loved to watch Penn State and the Pittsburgh Steelers/Penguins/Pirates. He loved playing golf, listening to live music, and sitting by a campfire. He was an avid gardener and loved riding his Harley with his wife. Mike loved giving back to the community he lived in. He was a volunteer fireman for many years. For the past several years, he worked tirelessly to raise money for the annual Children’s Christmas Party, a nonprofit organization that provides necessities and gifts for 120 underprivileged children (ages 6 to 8) from five local school districts.

He accepted people without judgment and was a loyal friend to many. Most importantly, he was a loving and proud father to his boys. His most cherished title was “Papa”.
