I remember Mike from when our sons were in Scouts and baseball together. He was a great guy, a great Dad and a great role model for all the boys. Whenever I ran into him, he always had a friendly smile and a kind word. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Mike at the Arsenal in the mid 80s and kept in touch with him when he was rehired in the last couple years at the Arsenal. Mike was a true gentleman and will be missed. You are in my prayers.

I enjoyed working with Mike for many years at Engine Systems. He was always one to offer help to anyone that needed it. We also played golf together and fantasy football. I'll always remember Mike's great sense of humor and smile when I think of him. Rest easy Mike and my condolences to Tina and the boys. He really was one of the good ones.
