Not sure what to say?

Looked him up when discussing marketing with my daughter. He was the very best professor I ever had, by far. What an inspirational guy. I learned so much and earned so much thanks to him lighting a fire for business success in me many years ago. Thanks to the Mescon family for sharing this brilliant guy with his students!

I moved to St Augustine, Fl in 17 and sadly have just now learned of Mike's passing.

Dr. Mescon taught me at GSU in the mid 70's. In the late 80's my sons and I sat behind him on a cold and rainy day watching our beloved ATL Falcons.

I told Mike I had passed the GA BAR exam and had established my own law practice. He told me THE NUMBER 1 RULE FOR SUCCESS IS SHOWING UP.

His advice stayed with me through 34 years of litigation and I have shared his quote many...

Dr. Mescon and his wife Enith will always be a memory of two of the greatest people I personally have ever known in my life... When I feel the need to brag on myself, saying I knew them both is as bragging I can think of.... I admire them both above all I have ever known

He helped so many along the way. Still miss days at the gym with him.

Our condolences and sympathies to the entire Mescon family. It was my honor to have worked with Mike for over 20 years. He truly cared - - he cared about people, family, this country and the enterprise system that let so many prosper. Best of all he had a deep, loud, great laugh, it was true and warm. To a life well lived Michael.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Mescon family at this sad time. I was introduced to Dr. Mike Mescon through my sister Barbara Stewart Burton, who worked for him in the early 70's at GSU. He was truly a great man and inspiration to all. He sincerely cared about people and he would frequently ask "do you need anything?" And if you did, he was there for you. With heart felt sympathy.

He was an inspiration in so many ways. The love he and Enid shared is an example to all of us. My condolences to his entire family, especially to the love of his life, Enid. Everyone who knew him is the better for it. Rest In Peace.

Comfort to the Mescon family - especially to Jed, Phyllis & Caroline - take peace remembering the lifetime of happiness you shared with him.

A life well lived. So rich and full. Your Dad was quite a human being and so impactful.
