To all of Mike's Family and Friends.
Here at Optum where Mike worked, we all share in your deep loss and grief. Mike was the rock that helped each of us, and made absolutely sure everything worked as smooth as silk. But what shined was his gregarious personality and unveiled, straight to the point views. He was so much more than a resource that moved our work forward, he was a great friend to us all. I pass by his cube every day, and every day take a moment or two to reflect on all the great times we shared. Please accept all our condolences, all our thoughts as you go through these times. Know that every life Mike touched here shines brighter.

I can hear Mike's laugh. A hearty, happy warming laugh. He always made you feel important. It breaks my heart to hear this news.
I remember seeing him in high school with Joanne. From high school sweethearts to life long love which is a rare.
I remember hearing and seeing him dance and take polka lessons with his wife so they were ready for Karen's wedding. I have the fondest memories.
My fondest memories comes from when we were kids playing hide-in-seek at the farm. The boys liked playing around the pond and joked about eating frog legs.
We also spent weekends campaigning for his dad and I looked forward to every minute I get to spend with my cousins.
Mike, my dear cousin, I will always hear your laughter. I think I hear the sounds of drums coming from Heaven. Love you and you'll always be missed!

To Joanne and family. Please accept our deepest sympathy for the passing of Mike. We always have the fondest memories of our young adulthood on Chimney Sweep Rd. As the young families we were all together. How Ally would go to your house to line up with Scotty and Shauna for bath time and settle on your couch It was a great time to remember. When you moved into your new home. Your family put up a sign. Welcome to the threshold of your dreams. I never forgot that. It seems Mike lived a life that dreams are made of. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Craig and Mary-Alice Timek
