Michael J. Ridge

Mike, a day does not go by that I don't think of you and your family, our times together as kids then young men, visiting you in TX before you shipped out to VN, our drinks together, working together, the Chevy with the truck clutch we fixed on Commonwealth Ave in Boston, Carr Fastner, Sears Automotive repair in Framingham (mufflers and brakes) and my last memory of you when buried. By now your on the other side in the after life, how was your journey in the underworld. Save me a space,...

to Mike's Family,

Mike was great fun. He was a tremendous help with us in forest fire control. His programming with our FEPP program and our fire reporting system is still used.

Mike, I'll miss your stories, your cheery comments, your 'uniform' jokes and mostly, you. Thanks for sharing your's and Connie's cross country trip blog with me. And one last thing ... drilling holes in your new 'digs' basement floor not necessary ... just peace and happiness where you'll...

Connie, Katie and Matt ~

We will miss you Mike! You always had a smile and a laugh for Joel and I when we were on site. We'll remember your sense of humor and patience for struggling pc users, your upside down wall map, and your perpetually neat work area. Rest in peace.

I worked with Mike at DEM/DCR and was saddened to hear of his untimely passing. He was a smart, creative man and a pleasure to work with. Always good for a laugh! Our world was a better place with him, and will be sadder without him. But it was great to know him. My heart goes out to Mike's family. Thank you for sharing him with us.

We will miss Mike here at DCR - he was a wonderful man. My heartfelt sympathy to the family.

Connie, Katie & Matt, We are so very sorry for your loss! Keep all of the great memories you have,and know that Dad/Mike is in a better place. Our thoughts and prayers are with you! The Petersen Family

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. May you find comfort in his memories. God Bless.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
