Catholic High School. He enlisted in the Army when 18, stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY
with the 101 st airborne division and trained as a medic. Upon his return from military
service, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Xavier University and a PhD
in Clinical Psychology from the University of Cincinnati. Michael was a true intellectual
with a brilliant mind. He loved learning and working in his field.
Dr. Landwehr had a strong work ethic. He taught at Villa Madonna and worked as a
School Psychologist and administrator in the Cincinnati Public Schools. He also
established a private clinical practice, continuing his practice for the remainder of his
life.
Michael loved to share stories and was often quick with a joke. He was a private man in
many ways but if you were blessed to be a part of his circle of family and friends you
knew you had his incredible support. He loved cars, trains, animals and thoughtful
conversation shared over a good meal.
Beyond all else Michael loved his wife, his children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren. He always wanted to make sure they were safe and cared for and he
freely offered his wisdom and guidance. MIchael was honest, open and clear when he
talked to you. He loved words and considered himself to be “linguistically sensitive.”
He was a fantastic psychologist and a loyal friend. Michael lived a full life and those
who were blessed to have known him will always be better because of him. That is the
truest testament to his character and will serve as his legacy.
