I only knew Michael for a short time while working with him at DXC but in that short time found him to be kind, thoughtful, and always willing to jump in and help. He is missed by many of us at DXC. Donated to the Lexington Human Society in his name. Sending love to your family.

My sincerest sympathies to Michael's family. I've worked with him for several years and always appreciated his ethics and dedication. Plus he was always patient while I went on about my dogs. We will feel his loss...
