It has been a great honor and privileged to have known and worked with Mike over the last year and a half at Columbia Generating Station. In my role as the corporate manager over that site for Williams Plant Services, I communicated with Mike almost daily during the week whether I was on site or back in Atlanta. Our conversations quickly grew from that of only business to more important matters, such as our families, hobbies, projects (his pond and my basement), and our faith in Christ. Mike was a hard-working professional, respected leader, and all around GREAT guy, who will be genuinely missed as a friend and coworker. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known Mike and have him as a friend. I can assuredly say my life is richer for it and I will cherish the memory of his love for his family, friends, and his Savior.
