As when E.F. Hutton talks, people listen, so did we at the Schweinhaut Senior Center discussion group when Mike spoke.
He was a gentleman who liked himself, was confident in himself, an ardent reader as well as a prolific speaker. And, always up to date on the world at large - always with a gracious approach.
We will miss him.
Thank you Mike.

Mike was a MP&E Inspector at my first FRA duty station in Toledo, Ohio and welcomed me with open arms on my arrival. Mike helped me figure out where I might geographically look for a house, names and phone numbers of railroad contacts, etc. Short story, Mike was simply a tremendously nice guy and I sincerely appreciated his friendship thought our career with FRA. Rest in peace old friend.

We share Mike's family's loss. Mike was a trusted and valued colleague at the Federal Railroad Administration for many years. He worked for the safety of railroad employees every day, and he did so with a great spirit that encouraged his co-workers. It was always a joy to see Mike and share memories.
Well done, Michael. Rest in peace, knowing that you will remain in the hearts of your friends and family.
