Mike was always one of the good guys. While working closely with Mike at the bank I was always impressed by his caring, honesty, and great sense of humor. Since his moved to San Antonio we occasionally shared emails about KU basketball and life in Lawrence. His perspective on life was always accented with humor, which will be missed and remembered. So glad Karen and I got to visit Mike and Gerry in San Antonio three years ago.
