He was an avid fisherman and hunter and passed his love of the outdoors to his grandchildren. He often volunteered with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, conducting fish biomass surveys. He assisted in raising money for the Division to purchase several thousand fish that were distributed to various lakes and streams in Colorado. He introduced the sport of fishing to many youngsters via the “Pathway to Fishing “program.

Mike had a great sense of humor - he got a kick out of teasing his loved ones and liked to tell jokes and tall tales! He was a generous man who was always willing to help others. He will be dearly missed, but we will carry his memory in our hearts.
