To the O'Grady Family, Sorry to hear of the loss of your Husband/Father. I worked with Mike at MV for 15 years before he retired. The Engineering Dept. and the Pharmacy Dept., where I worked had a great relationship and alot of Great Times together. Especially the Christmas Parties Engineering had when Tom Gordon was the Boss! Mike was a great guy and I'm fortunate to have his many stories and his smile to remember him by. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
