Michael Neil Quarles

I just learned today about Michael's passing last summer. Michael and I were lacrosse teammates at the Georgia Institute of Technology and in the same year group (Class of 1973, though I graduated early in March). He was a solid, dependable, hardworking teammate. I always had a great deal of respect for him as a young man. I am also proud of him for entering military service and serving our country. As a fellow Veteran (Army) I know from his time at Georgia Tech that he performed well in the US Navy. I followed his career from afar, wishing we had been closer to stay in touch more. RIP Michael, and sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Fly high Mike. Prayers for you and family.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I worked with Mike for 10 plus years, enjoyed observing his management style. I always remember him telling me to 'always follow him' knowing I was only a UF Grad-School Alumni, which could only follow a Georgia Tech Alumni. We exchanged stories of Military service having served separately in the same time frame. I will continue to keep him in my prayers.

I´m so sorry for Mike´s passing and my sincerest condolences to the Quarles family. Having worked closely with Mike for 25 years I had the utmost respect for his consistent excellence and intense personality. This world and my life were much better having known and associated with Mike.
