    What can I say about Mike that anyone that knew him didnt know. I first met Mike and Ellen back in the late 80s when I remodeled their house on Cryer st. They stuck with me and kept me busy for the next 30 years. I must say I have never met two nicer kinder people then Mike and Ellen in all my life. They have literally helped me survive at times and have turned me on to so many new new customers and people I now call friends that I could never possibly repay them. The world Wednsday lost a wonderful person and heaven has gained a kind and gentle soul to help guide its future. RIP Mike till we see each other again, save a place for me up there in the clouds.

    I am sorry for your loss. I met Mike back in the mid 90’s when I joined Northwestern Mutual as a teenager. Mike was a mentor to many and he lived a life of service to others. He was an inspiration to me throughout my career and he set he bar high for all of us who looked up to Mike and his unmatched work ethic, his humility, his self discipline and his servant mentality. Mike was a mission driven person who made the world a better place for literally thousands of people. Few people would truly know how much Mike has accomplished as he would not talk about it himself. Mike made a huge impact on the lives of many and I know he is in a better place now. Thank you Mike for all of the things that you did to influence us all, Tim Harrison

    So saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the entire family. I wish I would have made an effort to contact him when I moved back to Omaha 2 years ago. I have fond memories of our journey in Christ dating back to early 1970s.

    I worked for Mike in the early 90s. He was a very impressive man, not only because he was a super agent, but because of his great love for his family. I am so sorry to hear he was taken from you all so early. Prayers for you all.
