He is a 1963 graduate of Alpena Catholic Central High School. He then joined the Navy Reserves but was honorably discharged for medical reasons.

After meeting the love of his life, Carol (Ritthaler), in Detroit they married at St. Bernard’s Church on May 1, 1971 before residing in Lansing.

For 38 years he worked at General Motors representing the UAW 652, retiring in 2004 as a lathe operator and union placement officer.

After retirement, the couple moved back to Alpena where he enjoyed going to casinos, joining his daughter on her NFL Stadium Bucket List trips, spending time at his property in Ossineke and visiting with friends at the Eagles.

Mick was preceded in death by his parents Louis and Elizabeth (Rea) Kaiser, as well as multiple aunts and uncles.

Per his final wishes, direct cremation has taken place. There will be no funeral or memorial service. Interment will be at Holy Cross Cemetery on a date yet to be determined. McWilliams Funeral Home has assisted the family.
