Born In Park Ridge and raised in Wheeling and Deerfield, Michael attended Stevenson High School and later pursued the culinary arts at Triton College. Mike went on to be a baker, a property owner and most importantly to him, a Father. Dedicated to his family and a man who loved numbers; he had an elephant’s memory like his Dad and a smart wit about him. He was always right, always wanted to win, and always tried to be the “funny” guy. We sure will miss that sarcastic humor of his.
