The Wientjes family moved to Blanchester during the Depression and began farming on a farm on State Route 123 south of Blanchester. Mike and his four brothers all served honorably in the United States Military. Mike joined the U.S. Navy after graduating from Blanchester High School and served at the end of World War II and in the Korean Conflict. During the Korean Conflict Mike served aboard the U.S.S. Gen. G.M. Randall. After being discharged in 1951 Mike returned to Blanchester and studied at the University of Cincinnati and worked at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. Mike and Jeanette were married on August 21, 1954 in Blanchester, Ohio. Mike retired from Wright-Patterson in 1983 having worked for several years in the AFOG Division where he built displays and special projects for the Air Force. Mike's life revolved around his family, home and church. He was a member of St. Columbkille Catholic Church, Wilmington, Ohio for over 50 years. Mike was extremely talented in woodworking, gardening, art and photography. He was a master woodworker creating beautiful pieces of furniture, cabinetry, decorative items and wonderful toy boxes. Several remodeled kitchens and projects in the Wilmington area were the product of his talents. His photography of flowers was outstanding and one of his pictures of a yellow rose from his garden, was chosen by Mead Corporation to be on the cover of a three-ring notebook. In his off-time from work and in his retirement, Mike could always be found in his workshop or in the garden and in the wintertime, he would be planning next year's flower gardens and projects. Mike loved to laugh and being light-hearted. He will be missed by all those whose lives he touched. -
