Mike has been on my mind lately and wasnt sure why. We worked together at Instacare in Baden. I saw another coworker today, Dr Thomas, and we talked about all of out time as coworkers. Decided to Google Mike and was shocked to see his obituary. He is remembered and wonderful coworker and gentleman.

Michael was our company doctor here at beaver Valley Power Station in Shippingport, PA. He was a true gentleman and a kind man. He was very helpful and concerned about patient wellbeing. I enjoyed each of our interactions and I considered him a good friend. Please accept my deepest sympathy to all of his family and friends. He will be missed and remembered with reverence and respect.
May God give you the grace for each new challenge and the strength to carry on moment by moment together.
