He enjoyed helping out at the Covered Bridges Winery bottling wine, doing yard work and preventative maintenance on the equipment. Mike was also a jokester, pranking and teasing his kids and family members. You wouldn’t dare to sit next to Mike at a family get together because he would be sure to steal your food straight off your plate.

He liked to tinker, working on various projects in his garage which was tragically taken from him in the March Winterset tornado. Mike loved life and lived everyday like it was his last. He loved his family and enjoyed every minute with them.
