Mike enjoyed a 32-year career at the Brady Corp., where he worked as a printer. His love of cars, especially Cadillacs, led to a job selling cars later in life.

Mike loved playing hardball in his younger days and continued to stay active by bowling and golfing. He enjoyed watching wrestling, having a prime rib, following the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, attending the Wisconsin State Fair and cheering on #3 Dale Earnhardt.

He is further survived by other relatives, friends, and his grandpups Gunner and Delton.

He was preceded in death by his parents, younger brother Patrick Janasiak and loyal companion Caddy.
