Hey Mike old buddy we got to work together for 25 years we had a lot of fun on those snowy all nights we pulled and had fun when we got to get out golfing you was a big part of the maintenance team at the hospital for a very long time we all miss you and enjoyed working with you you always made us laugh rest in peace old friend.
I first met Mike in 2007 when I started working at WCH.
Mike was a great guy, always at work early making the morning coffee, greeting us as we came to work. Mike was always there to help me out when needed, he had a great attitude at work and made it enjoyable to be there. He had many sayings that made me laugh through the years and those will always be with me. I did have the opportunity to golf with Mike several times, once again, Mike would make it a fun and memorable day on the course. Unfortunately, after Mike retired I did not see him much, but the short time I had will be unforgettable.
Rest in peace Mike, you will be missed.
Thank you all so much for the kind words.
I’ll love you, and miss you forever Dad. ♡
