In high school, Mike worked for the Chanute Engineering Office and also ran the printer at the Chanute Tribune Newspaper.

Mike was an outdoorsman. Hunting and watching his family fish were some of his favorite things in life. Mike was also known for being quite the story teller. He was a family man and a business man that will be greatly missed. "Your money loves to be in my pocket." -Mike Casper
