-INTERMISSION-

Kathie and Michael spent their lives giving back to the communities they loved and supporting organizations that spoke to their many passions. Kathie enjoyed music, reading and volunteered for organizations like the Mile High Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and the Junior League of Denver.

Michael graduated summa cum laude from the University of Denver and kept a long relationship with his alma mater, including serving as past president of the DU National Alumni Association. He was also editor-in-chief of the Denver Law Review and the founder and longtime leader of the nationally recognized Professional Mentoring Program at the Sturm College of Law.

Kathie and Michael’s enthusiasm for music brought them to become involved with the National Repertory Orchestra. Michael was president of the NRO Board of Trustees from 2019 until his passing.

The only thing the pair enjoyed more than contributing to their most special causes was spending time with their daughter Michele and son-in-law Tim Alexander. In September 2021, Kathie and Michael celebrated 50 years together.
