For 35 years, from 1979-2014, Mike worked as the City Finance Officer for the City of Alcester. He was always an active member of the Alcester community. Mike was a pivotal member of the Alcester Summer Recreation program for many years. He spent countless hours coaching youth sports. If Mike was not coaching, he was at the local games keeping his own stats to write the story on the game for the Alcester Union paper. He wanted to make sure that each kid playing got recognized in the paper. During his summers he would live at the Alcester baseball fields. Coaching, Umpiring, and maintaining them. He was always very proud that he secured the opportunity for Alcester to host two state baseball tournaments in the same summer. He played pickup games of basketball on Sundays until his Parkinson’s would not allow him. Mike passed on his love of sports to his own family. He was always there to coach not only his children but also his grandchildren.
