Worked with him multiple times in my years working within security. Didn't know he passed until rather recently...
He always seemed like a very kind guy that cared a lot about his family, especially his grand daughter.
Rest in peace, Mike.

Mike,
So sorry that you are not with us anymore. It is a great regret that I did not get to see you and laugh with you just one more time. Maybe in heaven, then.....

Mike Zagger. A big man with a big heart. Selfless and caring. Pittsburgh Police Officers injured and retired in the line of duty. Friend. Brother. Instructor. Hero. Army paratrooper veteran. Gone to be with the Lord. Now with Jesus. See you soon my brother.
