Michael Slavney

Sorry to hear this, Michael left behind a legacy.

I had the privilege of knowing Mike both as a professional colleague and as a friend when lived in Sun Prairie. I had reconnected with him a few months ago after not seeing him for years and was very happy to see him. We shared stories about our now grown children, our retirement plans and it was just like the years when we saw each other regularly. Sending my thoughts and condolences to Linda and the children

I was sorry and shocked to read the news of Mike's passing. Mike and I knew each other through V & A and SAA and collaborations on several projects in the Midwest. Always a smile and such a nice guy. I'm sure he'll be dearly missed by friends, colleagues and family. RIP Mike.

Mike was always generous and patient with his time and knowledge. It was my great pleasure and to my great advantage to have worked with him for so many years. His humor will also be remembered; the jokes were funny even on the 5th telling! Warmest wishes and deepest condolences to Linda and their kids.

My condolences go out to Mike's family and friends, he will be greatly missed. I can only say positive things about Mike. He was a thoughtful professional with so much care for the communities he served, and was very generous with his knowledge and advice. A wonderful mentor!

Mike was a thoughtful and skilled planner, and a strong supporter of the Wisconsin planning profession. I always, always enjoyed talking with Mike and I am sad to know that his mentorship is no longer available to us.

Linda I am so sorry about Mike. It was so wonderful to see you last June for Rich's celebration and to hear Mike passed so soon after was shocking. I am so happy we were able to spend a bit of time last summer. The cookout was wonderful. My sympathies again to you and your family.

You have my condolensces, I am the new Village Clerk for Fontana - one of the communities Mike served and we all took a moment to recognize his passing. Bless you and your family. Bonnie Liptak

Mike was a kind and generous mentor to so many of us working and volunteering in municipal government. He guided the Village of Oregon through decades of change and helped steer our community in a positive, sustainable direction. He was one of my very favorite people to have at the table. I will miss him so much.
