Mike and I worked together for years back in the early 80’s. First at Atlantic Mutual, then Lawton Bryne and Bruner and finally with Marsh.. He was a great insurance professional with tremendous wit and humor.. We had a blast working together for all those years.. My condolences to the extended family, he would have loved for you all to celebrate his life and try to remember all the accomplishments.. His family was his great gift of all, he cherished you guys and talked about you all the time.. Sad day..

I've known Mike for quite a while, since our days at LBB / Marsh Mac. He was kind, thoughtful, & funny & boy did he know insurance! He gave me an opportunity with his ICIT group which I greatly appreciated & has always been a supporter of the services I provide the clients at APMO. I cannot believe he's no longer with us and my heart breaks for his family that he so cherished. It will take time but someday we will mourn less the loss of the flame and celebrate more how brightly it glowed! RIP the Lord's newest angel!
