Dorothy, please accept my belated condolences. I didn’t know of Mike’s passing until yesterday. It was such a privilege to work as Mike’s executive assistant at Solomon Associates. Mike talked constantly of his admiration and love for you and his daughter. I hope you are well and have stayed busy with your friends and family.

Found out of the passing of Mike while catching up on my reading of the Chevron retirees publications. Mike was a great leader who showed the way for the work I did along the way. Rest in peace.

Hi Dorothy, Just saw this today. So sorry about your loss. Mike was a good friend. So many fond memories from working together at Chevron for all those years, especially at Pascagoula. And great times chasing the little white ball around at Hickory Hill CC. You´re in our prayers - God Bless!! Scott

Just saw the latest Chevron Retirees' Encore Memoriam listing Mike. I was stunned. We worked together at Chevron for many years, first in Corporation Engineering and, later, on many new installations and start-ups. He was always a little larger than life, and seemed indistructible. He'll be missed

Hello, Dorothy
So sad to hear about your loss.
I will never forget Mike and the Isomax years at El Segundo. Mike was an Engineer's Engineer, a people person, a great leader, a skilled motivator and my best friend.
Mike: did you ever figure out the electrical analogy for a flange?
