Prabha Aithal wrote a sympathy message

“I have known Mike since he managed a team responsible for wireless device field testing in the SE region ~15 years ago. Mike was very kind, witty, and bullish on emerging technologies. I always appreciated his team spirit and positive outlook, even while he was suffering from a deadly disease. I was very fortunate to meet Mike during a business trip in February and have lunch with him and colleagues in Alpharetta. Mike will be deeply missed by the colleagues who worked with him over the years.”

“Mike was a soft spoken kind of guy. He was easy going and had a gentle spirit. Always easy to work with. One of the nicest work colleagues at AT&T. Enjoyed all our interactions. Was lucky enough to fly down to Atlanta with Scott Miller and Mike Schaefer to have lunch and commiserate with Mike and part of his team for an afternoon. He will be missed. Gary Perkins”
