It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of “Coach Mike”.

Several years later the family moved to Redondo Beach. Mike and his brothers graduated from Aviation High School. Obtaining a wrestling scholarship, Mike went to Colorado State. Upon leaving Colorado, he relocated to the South Bay where he met his wife, Helen. They married on June 28, 1972, and had 3 children. As a certified mechanic, he began a career as an Inside Installer with General Telephone in Long Beach.

Upon having children, he discovered a passion for youth sports. He was a volunteer Little League coach, a Pop Warner football coach and high school football coach. He had a true love for youth sports and for his players of 40+ years.
