Mike then worked for the State of Wisconsin and owned his own printing business in Illinois. For the last 18 years he worked at Schumann Printers in Fall River. Mike was an avid fisherman “The Walleye King”. He started his fishing hobby at the age of seven. He loved fishing Lake Wisconsin, the Wisconsin River and Wisconsin Dells Dam, but his favorite spot was the Bridge at Okee. Mike has many fishing buddies including Ron, Gene, John, Howard, Mike, Terry, Mark, Denny and Guethlein. Mike was looking forward to teaching his grandson, Wyatt, all his fishing tricks.

I lived on the farm across from Bill & Shirley by the apple orchard. My husband Jim also passed from Small Cell Lung Cancer in September. I know the struggle to survive is real. I am so sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to all of you.

I worked with Mike for 8 yrs at Schumanns. I work in quality control. He used to come in sit at the desk across from me to give his knees a rest. We had so many wonderful conversations. He would show me the newest lure he made or pictures of fish he had recently caught. But his proudest moment was when he showed me a picture of his brand new grandson. Mikes eye would just sparkle anytime I asked about that grandbaby. I stayed in touch with Mike through his illness. Not a day has passed since he stopped working that I haven't looked over at that desk and thought about all those wonderful conversations. I greatly miss him. My heart and sympathy goes out to his friends and family.
