My sympathies to Ann and family . I worked with Mike as a TTL at BDC for 5 years . We supported each other in our roles and he always stood up for what was right . I remember a difficult time in which he was there for me. Most importantly he had a great sense of humor and made me laugh often, he was also not afraid to laugh at himself . He will be missed .

Mike will be missed greatly. Knowing him from work and then outside of work, his smile and happiness expressed through his eyes, will be missed the most. His boisterous voice and mannerisms made all meeting and interactions memorable, and he truly cared for those he worked with and for. His love of Knoebel's was well known, and his child-like excitement every year around opening day can be noted by all. He was a genuine, caring man, and his loss is felt by all those he has worked with and been around all of his life. Deepest sympathies to his family during this time and may your memories of him keep you all strong through this most difficult time.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
