March 14, 1943 - January 16, 2026

Surrounded by the joy of family and loved ones, Mike peacefully went from his home, to his eternal Home and the immeasurable love of God! Devoted and ever so loving father to Amee and Ryan, beloved grandpop and great-grandpop, brother to Georgiana Werner, and forever grateful for our mom, Ruth Eileen.

Our words can’t express how deeply Mike cared for each of his family members, his cherished friends, and strangers he met at the intersections of life. In this moment, please allow Ryan and I to thank each of you for your kindness, love and care which filled his days with joy. Mike always started the conversation with “Hello Nice Person”, his motto to seek the good in everyone! Over the years dad would recall countless memories, detailing thrilling adventures, pioneering innovations, and heartfelt gratitude for his family and friends. Owner and builder of two highly successful Real Estate franchises: RE/MAX of SE Pennsylvania and RE/MAX of Delaware with 1800 sales associates, dad devoted himself to their success (and ours). As someone who has helped shape every aspect of our lives, we are forever thankful for the wisdom, character, dedication and compassion of our dad.

We are most grateful that on October 7, 2024 at 4:33 pm, Mike chose to trust in the LORD Jesus as his personal Savior. Dad’s “Yes!” resounded throughout heaven, and a river of LIFE flowed from the Father to his prodigal son coming home! Dad’s faith and recognition of his need for a Savior was the most important decision of his life-time accomplishments! To every “Nice Person” reading this: things here are temporal. Yet if we have an eternal mindset, we will invest spiritually for the moment when we cross the finish line, and rest in the welcoming arms of our Lord. Dad came to know “Christ IS our life, and we live more fully with Him.

We love you dad!
