Mike and Helen shared a unique interest in collecting turtle figurines and artwork, which they proudly displayed both at home and in their shop. This collection was a testament to their shared passions and the life they built together.

He is survived by his daughter Missy Cefalo, stepdaughter Sandy Stock, stepson Robert Stock, and granddaughter Sophia Cefalo. Mike was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Helen, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and adventure.
