Mike was a truck driver for Federal Logistics in East Peoria. He was a member of the Saturday Night Mixed Bowling League. Mike loved shopping on E-Bay. There was never a dull moment when you were around "Brubie", as he was known to many. Family was his world and words couldn't explain how much he cherished them. He never met anyone he didn't like and he was known to have ten minute phone conversations with the fortunate person who called the wrong number. He loved playing pool, fishing, darts and swimming in the backyard whenever he could. His most prized possession besides his daughters and wife was the newly renovated basement he and his neighbor, Don finished together. Brubie will always be remembered for his wacky and joyful sense of humor. No one will ever be able to forget how he could brighten their day with one of his off the wall sayings.
Services were entrusted to Wright and Salmon Mortuary of Peoria, Illinois.
