I am so devastated to hear of Mike’s passing. He was not only my boss for 38 years but I considered him to be my friend, and maybe sometimes my very best friend. He was always intimidating to some people when he wanted what he wanted, but not to me. I couldn’t do enough for him and he loved me for that. He even kept in touch with me after I retired and I loved him for that. I will miss him terribly, especially alll the stories he used to tell me. He was a great guy.
