Mike enjoyed hunting, baseball, football and fishing. He took Andrew fishing all the time when he was little.
He loved his dogs; he had a dog, Snoopy, when he lived at home.
Enjoyed going to hunts in Missouri.
He trained Buddy, his red bone coonhound, for search and rescue until Buddy got sick.
Always enjoyed going to visits his aunts and uncles in Missouri and always wanted to move back there. When Glenna, Mike, and Jeanne (Dumpy) got together, they would reminence about Missouri.
Always enjoyed putting in a large garden.
He would tease the heck out of his nieces and nephews. When they were little he would take the Matz girls and go Christmas caroling to people's houses. I am not too sure the girls knew exactly what to expect. He also would tell them there was bears in the attic whenever one would spend the night.
He loved each and everyone of them.
Had the best time drinking coffee with his sister Glenna and sometimes with Dumpy.
Dumpy was his sidekick; those two came up with the darkest things.
He loved reading to his kids and he and Andrew did a lot of puzzles together.
We love you Mike. Will see you again. We know you're with family and friends and pain-free now.
