Mike had a great wit and relaxed way about him. He was incredibly bright and insightful. In my interactions with him I always learned something new. His sometimes gruff outward style belied a kind and caring individual who supported his co-workers, wanting only the best for them. I am a better person for having known him and grateful for the 10-years we were colleagues. My condolences to his family and friends. His presence will be missed but his place in our hearts will remain and be remembered.
