Mike was employed by Kimberly Clark as an airplane mechanic for many years, until he retired in 1987. Mike was a veteran. He enjoyed life with his wife, Nancy at their home on the lake, on Black Wolf Point. Mike and Nancy shared a love for the Bassett Hounds that lived with them through the years. Mike enjoyed everything about cars and was an avid Ford Shelby mustang fan. He enjoyed playing the slot machines on an occasional trip to the casino. In his younger years he was known for playing practical jokes on his buddies. Mike was a perfectionist and took pride in a job well done. He and Nancy supported the Oshkosh Area Humane Society. As his health failed he lived in assisted living homes and Eden Meadows Green House East, where he met some good friends. Mike is survived by his nieces, Mary Jo Neustifter of De Pere, Joan Riedel and her children Emily and Hanna of Green Bay; nephews, Robert Neustifter of Grants Pass, OR, Richard (Beth) Neustifter and their children John, Eric and David of Milwaukee, Ron Neustifter and his children Kaylin, Ashley, Paige and Sawyer of Oshkosh, dear friend Sue Kersztyn and other good friends.
