Dear Laura and Sean,
My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow. I remember Sean when you were born - your Dad was so happy and proud. He looked at you with awe and wonder in his eyes. Laura, the true friendship and love you and Mike shared, which I seen, radiated when he looked at you. I remember going to the park with you Laura and Mike late at night and watching the shooting stars during a meteor shower. Mike was always ready to "step out of the box" and experience life. Thats how he lived life... like a shooting star.
  May God's grace of peace comfort your heart.

Laura,  just learned of your loss.  Mike was a joy.  Pleasant conversations at Peoria North Rotary meetings will not be forgotten.

Mike was a wonderful person and a great mentor. He gave me direction in my career and I will never forget him. My condolences go out to his family.

I am so sorry to hear about Mike's death. I have many great memories of our high school and college years together. My sympathy and prayers are with you and your family. Rosemary Lamprecht Swanson

Condolences to Mike's family.His passing is a loss to the thousands of lives that he touched. Mike had two qualities that  will stay with me: he always had a big smile on his face, and he always had an idea or three that he wanted to tell you about! I will miss Mike's smile, and his ideas. Fortunately, he  infected many with his curiosity, imagination and never ending quest for improvement. We will all carry forward his legacy to improve access to and quality of treatment and recovery from substance use disorders.

Rest in Peace, Mike

Hadn't seen Mike since high school, but considered him a good friend.  Did not know he was so close to me in proximity.  He will be missed.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I had the opportunity to work with Mike for several years, bringing competitive employment to people with mental health issues. He was such good leader...

We knew Mike and admired his dedication to pt care and enjoyed working with him. Our thoughts are with the family at this sad time ...Debbie Simin Peoria Ill
