Rest In Peace Mike. He was my first mechanic at Mainco when I joined the company in 2001 in Co-Op City Bronx NY. He asked for a "spanner head" screwdriver and I must have handed him every screwdriver from his tool box except a "spanner head"!! He was just made a mechanic and we were modernizing his first elevator as a mechanic. I was a green helper with zero experience in the elevator industry. He wasn't happy and picked up his tool box and tossed it across the room! BUT he was a great teacher and he showed me the ropes. We brought the car in on time and passed inspection first time tested!! We became friends and went to the band Fuel concert in 2001. I went on to become an elevator consultant and I owe part of my success to Mike. I was injured and left the industry and just found out recently that Mike had passed away. I am so sorry for your loss and I send my belated condolences to his entire family. I just thought his kids should know that story because their dad is a great guy and always will be, whether here or in Heaven. Sincerely, Jason Z.
