After graduation Mike spent 10 years in sales and management positions at Alcan Aluminum Co. In 1970 he changed directions and entered the health-care finance field, working for several major accounting firms and his own Western Reserve Healthcare Finance for several decades.
After retirement Mike returned to his first love of writing and published several novels and many short stories. Despite growing health problems, he loved hiking and woodworking. He was also active in municipal affairs in several communities in northern Ohio, where he made his home from 1967 on.
Mike died Oct. 2, 2018, of a stroke. He is survived by two daughters, one son, and eight grandchildren, to all of whom we express our sympathies.
