Michael John "Mike" BIETY

mike - You are missed.

When it was decided to open a St. Vincent de Paul conference at Nativity of Our Lord in Broomfield and volunteers were asked to indicate how they would like to be a part of this ministry, Mike wrote "I will be a support to other volunteers." Haha, Mike was my right hand man through the inception, assisting with the manual, training, etc. For a very long time, there were just three of us doing all the visits and sometimes he hung in there for hours. Mike was one of the kindest gentle men I...

I worked with "Mr Biety" at Ensslin & Hall and Peak|Biety. Mike was such a lovely man, always a smile on his face and that gentle, kind manner. His wife was a delight too, they made a great pair, so very caring of each other, their children and their work family. I will miss Mike, his compassion and kindness, in the ad world he was always the consummate professional and gentleman, and that's saying a lot.

In 1985, the Honor Network was a new company that needed an
Ad Agency. We turned to Peak Biety in Tampa. We had a new CEO (me) and a very young and inexperienced marketing director. We also had a lot of ideas, most of which were not very good. Mike with his patience, professionalism and sense of humor got us on the right track and kept us there. Along the way we had a great time with lots of laughs. In one meeting I remember that I had the Idea of using the moose from the TV...

It has been said that " On the road of Life, there are drivers and there are Passengers" Mike Biety was the driver who knew how to reach for the talent from all his coworkers and not only give his best but get their best. The result was great advertising. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a client as well become a team member on the Pepin Heart Hospital launch. Our Cuban restaurant lunches allowed me to experience the philosophy of a great thinker as well as a man who could...

....I forgot one thing....as is my custom....Mike had a deep, subtle, almost British sense of humor that I truly enjoyed and was enriched by....My favorite....we represented a big car dealership in Tampa, Fl...one day Mike, Joe P. and I were talking, actually heatedly discussing what was the best car made. Sometime in middle Mike looked at me and softly said, "Jim, the best car on the road is a paid-off car that starts in the morning." I still use that line.

Mike, you were a great inspiration for me, great help to me, and one of the kindest people I have ever met. The agency is in debt to you in large part. You are truly missed, truly a saint, and truly part of my heart....your all time friend, Jimi Barr

We had such monumental success working together. Mike,Glenn and the entire team made me a "hero". The Lykes characters scored big time. I have wonderful memories of our time working together. We send our condolences to the family and wishing you much joy in the wonderful memories you all have of Mike.

I was one of the many fortunate people to have gotten to be in some small way acquainted with Mike. He was such a kind and generous soul. He will always be missed and in some small way there will be a void in the world that we all will need to fill with the memory of him and by living his example.
