Michael Aubrey Southward

Knew Mike while we were both stationed in Stuttgart Germany. What an awesome dude, he was definitely a great friend and fun to be around . . .

Mike and I worked together for several years in same office at Verizon. He was one of the best technicians that I had the pleasure to work with. Even after he moved to another office he was always there to help. He and I played golf and skied together numerous times. Cannot express how sorry I am to here of his passing. I will forever miss Mike and will cherish the times we spent together. My condolences go out to his wife and family

I was in the VA. Air Nat. Guard with Mike. We were both working there the the Chief came in and asked if anyone wanted to work for Bell Atlantic. "I do", was the response in tandem. So we called and made arrangements with Ed Southard for the interview and to take the required tests. We started work on the same day - Dec. 19, 1994. Mike was an ace technician. A stickler for detail and doing things right. Always easy, always jovial, amiable, talkative, and always with that toothy Bobby...
