He continued his education at Highline Community College graduating from there in 1977. Mike met the love of his life, Janet, while they were both seniors at Renton High School. They were married in 1977. They moved into their home in 1978 and welcomed son David in 1984 and son Paul in 1987. Mike loved being a husband and father. His boys were always a priority and he was a wonderful role model for them.
Mike loved to listen to music. He always remembered so many details about different musicians. Mike also loved to play cards—cards of all types! He treasured his pinochle, Pedro and 500 card friends! Mike loved to water and snow ski, play volleyball and bike on the bike trails around the area. He was so thankful for his skiing and biking buddies, Mike, Debbie, Karyn, Paul, Jim and Joanie and that they loved to play with him!
