For the last thirty years, he has lived and raised his family in Columbus, Georgia.

Mike was an avid golfer and loved a good game with friends at Maple Ridge Golf Course. Mike had a wonderful and witty sense of humor, and was loved by an entire community of people. His pride and joy were his three girls as well as his two adorable grandchildren.
