I worked with Mike at several power plants in Florida Power Corporation's and Progress Energy's system. He had a unique sense of humor and was always fun to be around. I only saw him a few times after he retired in 2005. I googled his name just now and saw that he passed last fall. He was a good Man. Peace be with you my friend.
