I had the pleasure and honor of working with Mike for the past 20 years. He was the most intelligent person I have ever met. But with that extreme intelligence came a great personality. He was smart, funny, interesting and passionate in the work he performed. I call the flame signal on the Fireye E110 control a McCarron, and it will Always remain a McCarron. I will miss his freindship dearly.
