Mike is preceded in death by his parents; sister Barbara Polis. Mike enjoyed fishing, traveling, hunting, watching and feeding the birds. He learned to love dance and theater, where he watched his granddaughters light up the stage. He was an avid fan of his grandchildren who play many sports: softball, soccer, baseball, track, horseback riding, taekwondo, and swimming. Remember Mike’s motto: Be a hitter, not a looker.
