Mike was born in Worcester, son of the late Gloria (Maranda) and Roland St. Andre.
His roots were in Grafton where he lived and worked for many years before moving to Manchaug.
His many years in Grafton is where he owned/ran three businesses.

He retired to his house on Manchaug Lake where he would look forward to nightly boat rides with his wife, and neighbor Erin along with her pit-bull Mia and where he would visit the Cadrin’s at Kings Campground.
He also looked forward to weekly check-ins from his nephew Gary “Little Guy” Soderman.
