Mike was a loving brother who always looked out for his sister. She recalls a time when she spoke of wishing there was a way to get electricity out to a stage located a half an acre in the woods at a kids summer camp that she ran. He volunteered his time to make it happen and spent half the summer installing underground electricity, a physically grueling task for someone with serious health issues but he made it happen because he loved his sister and understood how much it meant to her. It will remain a cherished memory for her because they did it together.
He was a brilliant man with a big heart and the best sense of humor! He could recite most of Monty Python-accent and all, passing it on to his nephew.
