Mike was a devoted husband of 47 years to his other half Liesbeth. He was always surrounded by his family and enjoyed every moment with them. Mike was a proud retiree from his career with Plumbers & Pipefitters Union Local 463/401 and was always learning and striving to achieve new levels of his job including being a teacher to many young minds. Mike loved golf, especially with Liesbeth and his son-in-law Kris. He adored his grandchildren and spent his time with them fixing, building, digging, playing, learning and laughing. He had every tool available to teach the kids how to be handy like their Opa.
