Life will not be the same without Michael. Over the almost 30 years we have shared some great times. I am so glad I crossed paths with Molly at KU years ago and had the pleasure of being a friend of theirs. It was one of the favorite things in my life. I looked forward to seeing Michael each week. He was a wonderful person who will be missed. Thinking of the family with thoughts and prayers.

Mike was one of our dearest and longest friends. We have known him since high school and he was an usher in our wedding 51 years ago. He and Dennis and Steve Sanneman shared an apartment senior year at University of Kansas. He was a great friend to many and will be missed for his smile and dry sense of humor. Love you, Mike!
