I worked with Mike at Breit Engineering for only a few months but found Mike to be such a delight. We would spend our lunch hour together walking around and always laughing. He had the best personality. I was shocked and saddened to see that he died years ago. I´ll always remember him so fondly.

I have lost a very good friend with the passing of Mike. Mike and I worked together for over the past 40 years. He will be truly missed. During that time I had the pleasure of knowing his brother Lenny and Fred who would both come to Breit Engineering at lunch to see him. I also got to see his two very beautiful sisters, Anne Marie and Alicia. Later down the road I was fortunate to become friends with Teresa whom Mike loved so very much. Mike was so lucky to have such a wonderful wife and family and be able to feel so much love. I know that you all will miss him dearly and so will I.

To Mike's Family...
I'm very sorry for your loss...
I didn't know Mike as well as I would have liked to...I only worked with him at Bennett and Assoc. for a short time, but Mike and I became instant friends. We stayed in touch by way of e-mail after I left there. He took me under his wing and showed me the ``Bennett way'' of doing things. He also inspired me to buy my first Harley Davidson. I know he was a good guy and will miss him....
