He’ll be sadly missed by his companion, Helen Barker of New Philadelphia.

Survivors include his two daughters and two sons; Michelle Copen of Barnhill, Willard Musick (and companion Stacey Davis) of Massillon, Cindy Leonhardt (and companion Gary Grant) of Dover, and Shawn Musick (and companion Crystal Walton) of New Philadelphia.

Thirteen grandchildren, and one great-grandchild also survives.

Two sisters, Darlene (husband, Jack) Ren of New Philadelphia, and Roseann “Zip” (husband, Charles) Pressley of New Philadelphia, and many nieces and nephews complete the family.

In addition to his parents, Mike is preceded in death by his sisters, Kathleen Duffield, Marlene Colletti, Geraldine Keasler and Charlene Nealey, and his brothers; Gary, Willard “Buddy” and Jim.

Private family services are planned. There are no calling hours. Cremation will be conducted through the care of Geib’s Tuscarawas Valley Crematory.
