Mike was my boss for a couple of years at Dow Chemical in Dalton, Ga.  I remember my first day on the job with Mike.  We spent the entire time crawling through a carpet drying oven.  He had an engaging sense of humor that made the job both challenging and fun on that day and for many days to come.

I especially remember how he directed our group to make entertaining Safety videos that were informative while also being funny.  He put together an Academy Awards-like ceremony, complete with videos and little statues for the winners.  

Mike was an incredible man in many ways. He was a great mentor to me at work and I learned a lot from him.
