I am just shocked and saddened to hear about Mike's passing! The funny thing he was on my mind the last few weeks! I cannot find the words to express how I feel knowing that I will not be seeing that huge smile anymore. I met him in 20002 when I went to work at Setco, in Cranbury New Jersey. He was funny, intelligent, jovial and always making people laugh. There were only a few times I have ever seen him get angry and you would only know because he would get very quiet.
To his children and family, you have my deepest sympathy.
