I met Mike in the early 80s when ElectroPac built panels for projects I did at the Crown Zellerbach Camas Mill. Through subsequent jobs I would bump into to Mike, and was privileged to be a guest at his and Ann's home during their open houses. My condolences to Ann - we've lost one of the truly good guys.

I'm so sad to hear of the death of Mike.
