Mike loved horsepower... the louder and faster the better. He enjoyed riding the endless open roads and trails of the Wyoming Valley, taking every opportunity to get behind the wheel of his motorcycle, quad, side by side, snowmobile or truck; whether it was with his friends or just to enjoy the ride. He loved the outdoors, but above all else, he loved his family. His kind heart, roaring laugh and gentle (but mischievous) smile made Mike the light in so many lives.  Please remember and honor Mike on the open road, around the glow of a bonfire and in the peace of the outdoors. Our family would like to thank everyone for their prayers and endless love and support.
