What a fantastic partner to work with. A great Dad and husband to Patti. He'll be sorely missed by all who knew him.

I am so sorry for the family you are in my prayers. I didn´t know Mike very well we met on a cruise and had dinner together as a group 10 and had a Thanksgiving dinner also he was a kind man. Glad to have met him.

Dear DeDen family:
I was Mike's secretary/administrator at MWH until 2011. I worked with him daily for almost 12 years, and he was the best - so smart, respectful, accommodating, and a leader looked up to by his peers. When I decided to move to Kansas City he was supportive and understanding, even though it was an inconvenience for him. I can honestly say in 12 years I was never mad at my boss! I was so sad when I heard, he will be missed. My very heartfelt condolences to all of you.
Sincerely,
Terry
