Michael L. “Captain Mike” Arsier, age 79 passed away on Saturday November 8th, 2025, at Aurora St. Lukes Medical Center in Milwaukee.
Born on September 8th, 1946, in Chicago IL, he was the son of the late Louis and Jane (Dunn) Arsier.
He was educated in various schools, and bounced around to different colleges, majoring in Vietnam avoidance and chasing girls. When the dust settled, he had a lot of credits but was one short needed to graduate with a psychology degree. He finally took one more credit to graduate so he could hang the degree on his wall. He chose to work on the railroad which was a better option for him. He eventually retired from the railroad.
He enjoyed talking, drinking and listening to live music. He loved to dance when the opportunity presented itself. He loved traveling especially to BARRA de Navidad Mexico.
After his retirement he owned and operated Captain Mikes in downtown Kenosha. He was well known in downtown circles and had many friends.

He is further survived by nephews and nieces; Robert (Donna) Campbell, John Campbell, Patrick Campell, and Louis (Adriana) Corolla, Jane Campbell (Mark Stevens), Gina (Paul) Ziccardi, Karen (Dave) Koza and by many many great nieces and nephews.

In Mikes words, “I would like to thank all of my friends and family who were so kind to me over the years. Especially the many “music makers” and the ones that charged me less but told me not to tell anyone.”

Great guy lots of fun
Kenny Johnson says:
I have always enjoyed his picnic with live bands at the beautiful JFK park on the lakefront, with all the great BBQ that was so famously delicious, and the side dishes baked beans and so on were crazy good. Bobby always put a great band together for the event. I have played drums with Bobby for many years! So much fun! Times that will never be forgotten.
