"Captain Mike" as he was affectionately known loved being on the water as Captain of the boats the M&M and Stampede 3. Mike enjoyed summers at Duxbury Beach and winters in Tropic Bay, Delray Beach, Florida. He also loved being out on the greens with his golf buddies.
Mike and Maureen loved entertaining, especially festive family Thanksgivings and holidays. A consummate storyteller who was never at a loss for words, Mike was above all else a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather who filled our lives with laughter and joy. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
