From Wash., D.C. co-worker.

I always enjoyed talking to Mike at meetings and on the phone. He had a hearty laugh and good humor, and did indeed talk about fishing and his boat.

Mike liked his work, but not the long hours needed to get all his work completed. Wish I could have attended one of his BBQs, as he was always taking about the K.C. steaks he cooked.

Farewell my friend.

My family is extremely saddened for all of Michael's family. During these difficult times we pray that you will find comfort in knowing that Michael will forever be in God's memory. We pray that you all find comfort in the God of peace (Psalm 83:18).

Even tho we haven't worked together directly for several years, we always managed to take time to catch up, exchange a few stories and laugh. He'll be missed in the halls of BLS. My thoughts are with the family who will surely miss him as well.

Mike was always kind to me whenever I spoke with him via telephone. He came down to Baton Rouge, LA when I worked in that area several years ago to observe me. He was very friendly, positive and very professional. He will be missed. My prayers will be the family.

Mike was a sweet man that always had a smile and gentle nature. He will be missed at the USDOL/BLS office in Kansas City. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I am going to (I already do) miss Mike. As co-workers in different cities, we often picked up the phone to share information or just get caught up on each other's lives. He was a generous listener, and the kind of person who would leave you feeling more encouraged after having spoken with him. I'm grateful to have known him and worked with him.

May the God of peace be with you all.

I worked with Mike the last 10 years and knew him as a kind, gentle person who was always there for us. That is why we all loved him and will miss him terribly. Thank you Mike for everything!

Mike with one of his dogs, Chloe. Both she and Riley miss him already.

I've been looking at pictures of Mike tonight, and I'm struck by his big smile and the way he looked at his wife Carolyn with deep love. My heart goes out to the whole family.

I will miss talking with Mike about our jobs, about the news of the day and I'll even miss helping him with his computer. He was truly one of the good guys.

Hello, I am from OKC and work with DOL/BLS. Mike was the person who interviewed me for this position and had been my BC since I was hired back in 2010. I think we became friends over the years, Mike even reached out to me last year when he became ill here in OKC. I wish I could have done more for Mike, he took good care of me and I will miss his stories about his family, the lake and football. You are all in our prayers. Ricky, Eta & Alexandrea Womack

Mike was truly a great colleague. He always had a positive attitude and kept everything in perspective when circumstances seemed overwhelming. He has left very big shoes to fill and will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies go out to all of Mike's family.

Mile was not only my Supervisor, he was also my friend,. His kindness to me as I struggled with cancer was so comforting. He made is so clear that we do not work for him, but with him. He was truly a gentle-man.

I have only known Mike for a year, but in that time we have become good friends and colleagues. He seemed to always have a smile on his face...
