Michael A Hanlin

We met Mike and Brenda when we boated out of Sunset Marina. We watched Drew and Becky grow up there. Many fond memories. His crazy rides through the backwaters in Jezabel. The barge parties. He could do things with a piece of rope that still amaze me. Always had a tale to tell that entertained us all. I still can hear his sign off from a radio call, "The Foxy".

Drew, we are so sorry to hear this very sad news. Our prayers for you and your family are enormous. I know you have wonderful memories of your dad, I know those memories will keep him close to you forever.

Through his leadership the ACC has provided not only UT students but students from surrounding areas with the best career preparation experiences. He truly always put students first.
I know you and Brenda are on the water somewhere sharing a drink and a laugh!
Rest in peace, Mike.

My family moved to Keokuk when I was in kindergarten. Mike lived two houses away and was my first friend in Keokuk. He was a great guy. My deepest sympathies to the family. He will be missed by many.

Mike as a neighbor and friend in Keokuk, and knew he was a great guy. Sympathies to family

Mike was a joy to know at UTHS and afterwards when he joined us retired UTHS teachers at breakfast once a month. He always had a good story to tell. We missed him when he could no longer attend. My sincere sympathy to his family.
