He also is survived by many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. An avid golfer, Mike also enjoyed watching sports, especially the San Francisco 49ers and NASCAR racing. He found great peace at the ocean, appreciated good cars, and enjoyed watching Mecum Car Auctions. But his passion was spending time with his cherished family and friends, for whom he and Nancy hosted many gatherings in their home.
