As co-owner of Christ Building Materials and later as sales managers for various packaging machinery companies, Mike was a tireless worker and skillful salesman. Prior to retiring, he enjoyed working for Calico Corners, keeping their stores supplied with fabric and fellow employees supplied with cheer and laughter.  Mike will always be remembered as a baker who loved to make, deliver and ship desserts to neighbors, local businesses, coworkers, friends and family.
