Hi Diane, I still think about Mike often. What a great friend and now the other of our 3 Musketeers lunch friends, Sam Rector is gone. Miss them both.

Dear Diane, Ed, and Dan,
I first met Mike at Digital Equipment when he signed on there I think in the early 1980s. While I knew Mike at Digital for a few years I really got to know him better when he, Sam Rector and myself worked in an adjacent building and all of us tele-communited and worked in various positions for Digital Equipment Corporate in Maynard, Mass. We ended going out to lunch most days and he always spoke highly of you and his love for you was evident. He told us of his growing up years and I know that having a family of his own was the center of his life. He mentioned, but always humbly and quietly when he helped his sister and mother and anyone else who needed it. Of course as a Real Estate Broker he gave discounts on his commissions also. After Digital Equipment Mike, Sam and I kept up. We would have lunch together every month or so when we were working, a special holiday lunch and after we all left Digital we still kept it up at least quarterly.
Mike also hired me at Cognos and for a few months was my boss there--well not really my boss but the manager and most of all my good friend and co-sales strategist. I remember between us and all the people at Boeing I had come to know in three years at Sun Microsystems we closed the biggest deal for Cognos ever done until that time with Boeing.
I was so surprised to hear from Diane when Mike passed away and had no idea he had moved or the things that were happening in his life at the time. When I think back he wasn't able to come to lunch the last 9 months to a year.
Mike was one of the most honest, finest, most moral people I have ever known. He was also a great business man and had a lot of common sense. He also had a great sense of humor and ,as it said in his obituary, a great wit.
Throughout the rest of my life I will think often of Mike and his wonderful friendship for over 30 years. It was one of God's gifts. You work all you life to earn for your family but if at the end of that you can say you have a couple of really good friends that is pretty amazing and Mike was just that, a wonderful friend.
I hope in these months since his passing you have been able to heal some and I know you will always carry him in your hearts and remember a lot of the wisdom he had and the love he gave.

Dear Diane and Family,
It is never easy
to say Farewell
to one who's reached
their Journey's end.
May Memories
and Dreams comfort you.
And take some of
your pain away.

While I didn't know Mike, I know he was a special and caring person to have a life partner in you.
