Mike was my friend, coworker and brother in Christ. I had the privilege of working alongside him for 15 years. He was the greatest example a man can be. I enjoyed all the many conversations we had at work. He will be missed but not forgotten. Condolences to Sheila, Susie, Jason and Grandkids.

Very sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. Mike & I were roommates during our high school years at St Joe’s Prep Seminary in Vienna WV. Whether at work or play, he always brightened up a group with his can-do spirit and helpful, caring smile. May he rest in peace.

Very sad to hear of Mike’s passing. I knew him for many years at Bay Pines where he was a dedicated worker and a credit to the Federal workforce. A shock to hear he passed away so soon, I never heard of Mike taking a sick day off in all those years at Bay Pines. Condolences to the family. I’m sure Mike is right now enjoying one of the best cigars they have in Heaven.
