I am so sorry, Mary and family. Mike was a great guy. He was so easy to talk to. I have so many memories with him! But what popped in my head was how he would make coffee for the office by just adding some new grounds to the old grounds. He insisted there was still flavor in the old grounds! I will keep you all in my prayers.

Michael was a friend and colleague that will be dearly missed. I have fond memories of working with a very smart man at General Motors. May he Rest In Peace and be remembered forever.
