Mike enjoyed a long career as an electrical engineer with IBM Endicott, where he built lifelong friendships, treasured memories, and more than a few golf teams.
Above all, Mike was a devoted family man, never missing an opportunity to attend a sporting event for his grandchildren. He was very much a mentor to his entire family.

He will be remembered as a kind, gentle soul who loved a good laugh and a good Manhattan.
