I’ve known Mike for almost 18 years, and I can tell you he is a man of character. He’s a solid individual. He’s a solid human being more than that. And he’s a good family man. Back in the ’60s I had the opportunity to spend a year in the jungles in Vietnam. I was 18 years old. At that time, I learned very quickly that you need to assess an individual and determine if they are the person they say they are and a man of character and somebody you can trust. Mike Quiel is that man.

This is the kind of guy he is, and he doesn’t walk away from his responsibility. He’s not a liar. He’s not a cheater. He’s a good man. He’s got a good family.

While my wife became very ill and she passed away. He was there for me. He called me knowing the grief I was going through he came to my house, took me out to dinner. Just the kind of guy he is. My wife is a very good judge of character. My wife liked Mike Quiel.
