    It was a privilege to know Mike. Even though I met him many years ago as my friend Angie's father, I did not get to know him until I started working at Otis. He treated everyone with respect and was always helpful. But you had to be careful of his dry sense of humor. It's a sad time on earth but a joyous time in Heavan.

    I worked with Mike at Otis since moving here from Otis-Raleigh, NC in 1995. I had met Mike when your family was visiting North Carolina in the early 90's. Mike has stopped by the Raleigh Otis office. Since my moving to Indiana, Mike was always helpful to me and I considered him a dear friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
