From 194549 he worked in United Fruit's Traffic Department and for the next 10 years was manager of the Sunlight Laundry in Norfolk, Va. He then became a stockbroker with Powell, Kistler & Co. until he retired.
He was a former president of Ohef Sholom Temple in Norfolk, a member of the boards of the Virginia Symphony, the STOP Organization, the Norfolk Bicentennial Committee, and the Norfolk Senior Center. Mike was also an avid golfer, sailor, and woodworker.
