Not sure what to say?

While I never met Michael, I am his youngest brother Rick´s niece, Lora Rendall. My condolences to you all. He sounded like an amazing man and your family well-loved all his days and blessed. May the Lord bring you comfort as you grieve and miss him dearly.

Sorry to heat of Mike's passing. In past years, it was always nice to see him walking on the roads by White Lake. Libby, our thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family. Sue & Craig Gates

Mike was a mentor to me early in my career as a life insurance professional. We used to meet in his office once a week on the same day at the same time. He was very generous with his time, and he taught me so much about being disciplined and staying focused, much like the way he lived his life. Mike loved his family dearly, and especially enjoyed spending time at the "cottage" in Michigan. My wife and I took a trip to MI one summer and he insisted on having us stop by to meet the family. ...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. He will be dearly missed. Thinking of you and the family. Laura Frank

To Mike's Family, Very sad to hear of Mike's passing. He was a great man involved in so many great things. May your memories of him bring you comfort. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

A great guy who cared for others, a real leader in our industry who made a positive impression on all who had the privilege to spend time with him!

Well done faithful servant.

Mike was a recognized leader in the life insurance industry, and was well known for being frugal, a dedicated hard worker, and for always knowing the locations of the nearest Subway Sandwich shops. He was an advocate for the Life Foundation from its inception and helped it grow from an idea to a recognized institution. Our thoughts go out to the Keenan Family.

I will always treasure my memories of Mike when we were in the Jaycees together. He was great fun and a wonderful friend. Thanks to Libby and Mike for introducing me to my wife of 56 years. Our love and heartfelt condolences.
