Charles A. Michael, Sr. Passes

We are saddened to announce the passing of Charles A. Michael Sr. on Thursday 11/20/25. Arch joined Lititz Mutual in March of 1964. He was promoted to Property Underwriter Supervisor in 1972 and named Underwriting Manger (Vice President) in August of 1976. Arch retired as VP of Underwriting in 2010.

Arch was a recognized and well respected professional throughout the mutual insurance industry. In addition to his leadership for Lititz Mutual, he was involved with and provided oversight for many insurance organizations such as MIB, DEVCO and several reinsurance pools. He was fondly remembered for his calming diplomacy and sense of humor.

We share our sympathy and condolences with Mike and the Michael family, remembering Arch.
