He was a past commodore of the Minnetonka Yacht Club and the Inland Lakes Yachting Assn. In the early '50s Mike was president of the Princeton Alumni Assn. of the Northwest and for some years served on the Princeton Schools Committee of his area.
His main hobby was sailboat racing. When age prevented active participation in racing, he was a certified senior judge and race officer for the U.S. Yacht Racing Union. He also enjoyed his 28-foot Bertram motorboat. He was a devotee of Big Band music.
Mike was preceded in death by his wife, Marilyn, his daughter Peggy, and his brother W.O. '38.
