We had the wonderful pleasure of working with Michael and Tessie building their home in Gardnerville.   Michael was such an intelligent man with an amazing business sense.  Michael always had smile on his face and a wonderful laugh.  He will be missed and we will always remember him.  

OBI Strategy Meeting

So much sadness for the loss of Michael Chang who was a science genius and the greatest, most kind, and generous businessman and friend. Michael will be greatly missed.  My heartfelt condolences and thoughts go to Tessie and family.

To Tessie, Michele, and Michael, Jr...Jim and I send our heartfelt condolences...there are so many things to write about the Mike and Tessie duo...the first day of graduate school meeting Tessie before the exams and being told about the organic chemist Mike, her partner...sharing a house on Grey Birch Terrace when Michele was a toddler. The parties, the scrabble nights (with Michele in the middle of the board and Mike exclaiming, Oh my God, oh my God), and the meals...Mike the best Chinese cook (even when he hung a duck in the kitchen) and the best chicken and cashews I ever had. Mike and Tessie tearing out the tile in the basement for a new bathroom floor while Michele "visited" Barbara and me upstairs...parties at the Kleitmanns during the summer house sitting; Mike and especially Tessie helping me to repair my car and all the while switching out the batteries and everything else on the dear little MG (wasn't it?). Reunions after we all moved away--first in Cranberry when Mike was at Merck, then New Hope...how could Michele and Michael, Jr. be getting so grown up? Mike helping us out when Jim was without a job by using Jim's knowledge to help out with Pharmanex and red yeast. Finally, the move to California when we lost touch. I am so sorry that we did.  All of you have always had our love and friendship. The world is a poorer place without Mike.

So very thankful for this wonderful evening of delicious take out food and rummikub.
