Carolyn, Kevin, Becky and Michelle- Our deepest sympathy for your loss.

Sharon and I feel Mike was a very special person. I convinced Mike to join Crown Life 43 years ago and with his charismatic personality he helped motivate and shape the careers of many successful insurance people. We are saddened by his loss, but will treasure the memories of the many adventures we have shared with Mike and Carolyn over the years.

Carolyn, I feel so sad for your loss. Mike truly touched my life in a way that no one else has. His positive, supportive encouragement made a huge impact on my life, my career, and my love of nursing. I will never forget him and how special he was and will do my very best to encourage others. I am so very thankful that I had the opportunity to know someone so wonderful.

Michael was a speical friend and co-worker with me at Kaiser Permanente. It was a blessing to know Michael and Carolyn and their son Kevin. Michael made such an impact on the people he touched and worked with.

Michael loved the Lord and is now with him in God's Kingdom. Michael will be missed by eveyone but his memory will last forever.
