Mike always supported post-high school education, but understood that college and university programs weren’t meant for everyone. He was very proud of the local young men and women who found their careers in trade. Mike’s wife, Connie, resides in Wilton; He was the father of Jake, Wilton, and Angie Kraushaar of Williamsburg. He worked for almost 40 years at North Star Steel and Gerdau Ameristeel before retiring. Mike passed away last year.
