To the Michaud family: I have had the pleasure of working with Mike for the past 23 years. He has been and always will be a big fixture to the Berlin Home Depot family. We both started in the paint department and a many laughs we did have. He could custom mix paint like no tomorrow.Back in the day when I was in the paint department Mike would be downstocking all the spray paint the whole aisle would be covered in empty boxes it looked like it was snowing with cardboard . He was the hardest working guy in the store. Every time I saw Mikey he would ask how the family was.I will miss our talks and I will miss your smiling face Mikey but there is no way we will never forget you.

My thoughts are with Mike's family..I want to share a story.. I worked at Home Depot for many years with Mike..once, at a very busy time, I needed a question answered, he was a little short with me.. But he found the time later, to seek me out, extended an apology..explaining he was under pressure at Paint Dept. we always had a friendly connection after that day.. He was a great person..& a very hard worker..
