As an associate with Mike we had the pleasure of sharing meals with him and Jean. While Jean and I were not close, we could have been. Jean was easy to talk with and had a warm welcoming laugh. In this busy world, time passes so quickly, I truly wish we had taken the time to develop a friendship. We are sorry for your loss. Dave and Pam Kloer
