Dr. Michael Dillbeck

My deepest condolences to Michael's wife Susie. Both were my professors at MIU (Maharishi International University - Fairfield, Iowa, USA). Susie with the undergraduate and graduate coursework and Michael with the Thesis project. I once was in the library and a bit confused in reading opposite points of view on an issue. And thinking ..

I'd lost track of Mike after our graduation in the first year of Benedictine College (initially referred to as "Benedictine College, the Co-Educational College of St. Benedict's College and Mount Saint Scholastica College") in 1972.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mike. He was an amazing person that shared his wonderful gift with so many. His light will never dim. Tracy

We were so saddened to hear of Michael´s passing and send our love and condolences to Susie and your families. Michael was always a gentleman: refined, kind, soft, intellectually bright and clear, witty, compassionate, and patient. We just can´t think of any higher qualities Michael did not embody. What a role model. Thank you for all your support and the inspiration you gave to everyone who knew you in our world family! Warmest wishes to everyone. Garry and Helen Foster

At the end of class he announced to us all, "I want to thank Wendi for making me the best teacher I...

Mike was a great person.... Haven´t seen him since we graduated... I always ask his family about him... so sorry for his family

This is a gut punch. Went to high school with Mike. Such a smart man. Had many wonderful times and conversations with him. Sincerest Sympathy to his wife and family. He will be missed by many.

I went all through school at St. Joseph with Mike. He was so bright and also such a nice person. We all knew he´d be successful in life. So sorry for his wife, Susie and family. Prayers for all.
