Michael R. Hallett

Michael R. Hallett, 62, was born September 20, 1948 in LeMars, Iowa. He spent his childhood in Remsen, Iowa before moving with his parents to Spencer, Iowa.

As a young man he worked with his parents selling insurance in Spencer. Along with his siblings, he had a street in Spencer, Michael’s Court, named in his honor.

Mike often spent his free time with his four grandchildren, golfing, or cheering on the Hawkeyes.
