I recently saw that Mike passed away and I am so sorry for your loss, Barb and Michelle. I knew Mike from high school and was always impressed by his good nature and intelligence. Also the man could play football.

I work at Broker's International in Panora,IA. on the Aviva team, and had the great pleasure of working with Mike while he was at Aviva for the last 5 years. Mike was one of the most kind, considerate, dedicated people I had the opportunity to work with . He always had a kind word, and went above and beyond anytime I needed his assistance on a licensing/contracting issue. I can't say enough about what a great guy he was and how much I and our team at Broker's will miss him!
Please take comfort in knowing my deepfelt thoughts and condolences are with you during this difficult time.

Hello, I worked with Michael at Aviva and had him in training classes a few times. I always looked forward to his comments and questions as he was very smart and had great input to the topic at hand. Michael really valued his work and took pride in what he did. I am so sorry Michael had to leave the Earth so soon. May you find peace in your grief and love in your suffering.

I worked with Mike at Aviva the past 5 years and he was always my "go to" person for contracting questions. He was never too busy to help and always had a smile. I will miss him.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike at Allied years ago, and then again at Aviva. He always had a smile on his face, and said good morning whenever I seen him. He was such a nice guy and will be missed by all.
