I'll miss my cousin Mike terribly, we always had our way of connecting & found laughter every time we were together. Unfortuneatley - there were never enough of those times. You're in my heart Mike and I'll always remember you taking my bike at Mamie's and it got stolen! LOL. One of those "laughable" times. Rest in peace my cousin.
Love,
Lynda

My deepest sympathies go out to all of Mike's family. I had the pleasure of working with Mike for over 8 years at Alcatel-Lucent. I have spent many gruelling hours on the phone and in person with Mike working through customer issues. Mike's attitude and outlook always kept heated situations under control. I have learned a lot from him and will miss him dearly.

My condolences to Mike's family and loved ones.

I was an Italian Lucent colleague of Mike an I met him several times in Italy
He was a tireless and loyal advocate for the customers that he supported, and he always delivered results.
As Jim Jordan said Mike positively impacted many colleagues and customers in the U.S., Europe and Asia. We will all miss Mike dearly, and we are all better to have known him.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Mike's family during this difficult time.

I worked with Mike for five years at Lucent - three of those years with him in the Westford office. I was fortunate enough to have been able to spend a lot of time with him working on projects and visiting with customers. His determination, drive and sense of humor were some of the qualities that I admired most in him.

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to know him as well as I would have liked as he was taken from us to soon. He will be missed.
