I went to Nursing School In Lima with Mike. He was a very bright student and was so supportive of his classmates during what was a tough challenging step in our careers. Mike was always a joy to talk with and share our ups and downs. I always knew he would do well. So very sad that a vibrant life so full of possibilities is taken from us so soon. Will be sadly missed and I am so sorry for your loss.

Jim and I shared so many wonderful memories with Joe and Kathleen and their family! Jim and Joe were always the best of buddies and Kathy and I tagged along for many fun fishing trips. Their children all grew up to be young adults that they were extremely proud of. Mike was no exception. As a traveling nurse he cared for the hurting until it was time for Kathy to care for him. He will be dearly missed. Linda (Hegemann) Hanna

I met Mike at CAMC memorial during my third assignment. We instantly clicked and were two peas in a pod after that. He was so funny and such a good, knowledgeable nurse. The world is a little darker now.
