Mike was a 1964 graduate of Altoona High School. He retired from Small Tubes Products in 2008, and continued to be a bus driver for the Altoona Area School District until May of 2023. 

Mike enjoyed going to car shows, taking his grandkids for ice cream, and his summer vacations at Daytona Beach. Mike loved animals; he was always willing to take in a stray and take care of it until he could find it a good home. 

He was a member of the South Altoona Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

At Mike’s request there will be no services.
