After the Navy, he followed in his dad’s footsteps as a machinist for AVCO/Textron Industries in Wilmington, MA.  He retired in 1992 from Textron.

Mike loved horses, and horse racing.  He spent many days working with horses of friends at Rockingham Park.  Mike was known to place a bet or two…He achieved his lifelong dream of owning a horse in 1995 named “You missed the point”.
