He had many interests and hobbies including traveling, water skiing at Clear Lake, bicycling, hiking, and working in his yard. Mike enjoyed fixing things around their home and was very proud of his recently completed back yard deck. He enjoyed helping neighbors and friends whenever he could. Daily Bible reading was very important to Mike, and he was in the process of reading his Bible through once more this year.
