Monica and I were deeply saddened to hear of Mikes passing. I have known Mike professionally for many years and consider him a dear friend. I can not think of anyone personally or professionally who has more compassion for their work or sincerity for the people they encounter. I will miss Mikes quick wit and dry sense of humor. God Bless Becky and Family.

Mike was one of the most special people I have ever known and a dear friend. He was instrumental in my growth as a man of God in many respects. His quick wit, warm affection and smile, gentle laugher, and endless wisdom will be greatly missed by those of us privileged to know him well. With Jesus now, he is free to worship the one he loved most.

Our deepest condolences to all of Mikes family. In my years before seminary, I worked in the building materials business and sold Bitec with Mike. He was a fine man and a favorite amongst those in our office. He was reliable, upstanding, and a true man of God who lived his faith. I loved working with him. I have no doubt that Mike is in the company of Heaven singing the praises of our Lord at His throne. Come Lord Jesus. Come quickly! Revelation 7:9-17

I had several opportunities to visit with Mike over trips to visit our customers in Iowa. although he had massive amounts of experience to share with me in our industry I believe the most important things he taught me had nothing at all to do with a roof. I will be forever grateful for those road trips with Mike, he was an amazing example of faith, courage, strength, and service for me and those like me to follow. I am so sorry for your loss, he will be missed by so many.

I am so sorry to hear of my good friends passing. I met Mike in 1986 when we worked together. We had become good friends since that time. I will miss him greatly. My deepest condolences go to his wife and children. He spoke of them often. He is the person who gave me the encourgement to stop smoking. We were both cancer surviors. I will always remember him.
