Michael "Mike" Stachowiak

Michelle and family. I can not imagine the pain you are going through. Mike was such a kind man that was always so helpful when bringing in the honey and while you worked on the setup you would ask him if it was okay and it was yes whatever you think. I can still see him behind the ice cream counter dipping ice cream, helping me with the network extensions and some software we both decided wasn't worth all the effort. He was such a kind man and you both are much like Danny and myself when you see one the other is close by ready to help. I know your life will be forever alter but you have family and friends that you can lean on. "Say not in grief 'he is no more' but live in thankfulness that he was."
Hebrew proverb

Mike had a million dollar smile and a his joie de vivre' was obvious to everyone who met him. Working puzzles with Mike is one of my favorite memories of my visits to the Chantilly office - he made it all so much less intimidating and overwhelming to a newbie in the Archtics realm. Sending some peaceful thoughts and love to the family, and all who will miss him so.

I will always remember visits to Chantilly because of the conversations with Mike. He was always eager to answer my dumb Archtics questions and loved talking Blackhawks with me. He was a great guy and will be missed.

What makes me smile about Mike is my visits to Chantilly...doing puzzles in the office, watching hockey with him, discussions about the best pizza, his Bruce Springsteen quotes and his love of his family...he loved taking about each and every one of you. I´ll miss him.

I started at Ticketmaster 15+ years ago and he trained me on Archtics. He had an incredible ability to explain and relate to the people he was training and get them to learn.

He also let me know that there are NO bugs in Archtics, just anomalies or unreported features. As a QA person, I will never forget.

He was a kind person and always willing to go the extra mile for people. He will babe sorely missed.
