In his later years, Rondy found immense happiness in spending time with his grandchildren and loved ones. Mike loved cheering at football games and watching Westerns all at full volume, he was a die hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan and made sure that people in the next room could hear the game and him yelling at the television.
