Mike received his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati, and later received his MBA in Finance from Xavier University. He worked for the IBM Corp. in Cincinnati for over 30 years. He had a brilliant mind that kept him active in the continual quest for new knowledge. He spent his retirement years traveling and playing golf with his wife and IBM friends. Mike was a devoted and supportive man who always put his family first. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years; Karen Quigley Hitz, daughter; Christine Hitz of Irvine, CA, son; Michael Hitz of Cincinnati, his grandchildren; Zoe, Zachary, Gabriel and Aiden Hitz, all of Cincinnati, along with his wonderful brother and sister-in-law; Keith and Vicki Quigley Dickens of Florence, KY.
