During that time, Mike was drafted and served in the army during the Korean Conflict from 1951-1953, but because of his accounting background, was stationed in Toledo working at the former Willys Overland as an army auditor. When he completed his active duty, he remained in Toledo and continued to operate his business for 57 years until 2008, when he retired at the age of 79.
Mike loved reading and learning, and in 1953 he enrolled in graduate school under the GI bill at the University of Toledo to study foreign trade. One of his professors submitted his paper on international trade to a national contest and he won a 30-day cruise to South America on a steamer by taking 2nd place in the contest.

He was always aware of the environmental implications of the business and worked diligently to uphold and promote the environmental laws.
After retirement, Mike became an avid reader of mysteries and historical fiction. He renewed his interest in bridge and participated in several bridge groups. He volunteered for Learning for Literacy, and at Flower Hospital for several years until he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at the age of 83. He continued to be involved in bridge and spent several hours a week at the gym to help keep the Parkinson's symptoms from progressing.
