I was saddened to read of Mike's passing. I remember him from the gunshop, and always enjoyed visiting with him. He was quite a gentelman.

Mike became my next door neighbor a year ago. I hadn't seen him since I left West Bend, IA in 1965. I feel so blessed to have this last year with him.

I will miss him. He was like the big-brother that I never had.
Jean, you cared for him like no other professional could have. Your...

I worked with Mike at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company many years ago for a brief period. He made a lasting impression. I still laugh when I think of some of his antics all these years later. My sympathy and prayers go out to all of his family.

Mike was a good friend who will be greatly missed. I always enjoyed Mike's great sense of humor, and I will recount his many incredibly funny sayings for years to come. If I had to guess, I would say Mike will be watching the final game of the College World Series tonight from his own sky box. He truly loved the game of baseball. Jean, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
