I worked with Mike at MCI Concord and he was a conscientious and dedicated employee who always looked out for staff , especially during inclement weather....he would often show up early on snow days and prepare coffee in the kitchen for those who needed some and would sometimes bake goodies for the line staff...a genuinely good man with a heart of gold who arrived everyday with a friendly attitude and "teamwork" sense of duty. God Bless his soul.
