Cathy, Claire, and I were saddened to hear of Mikes passing. I know we are a year late, I only found out when an email to Mike was undeliverable and Claire searched for an explanation. It’s hard to believe he is gone, he always put 100% into anything he tackled.
Mike and I were friendly competitors for years in Dallas. We both were active in the NACCB (National Association of Computer Consulting Businesses) at both the Local Chapter and National level. We both retired about the same time. I moved to Beavercreek and Mike moved to the Aspen area. Claire and I, and Cathy and Mike often stayed at each other’s mountain homes. Skiing each other’s favorite ski runs was fun for us all. After Mike and Cathy, we kind of lost touch with each other. Mike and I would exchange email jokes and at first talked on the phone occasionally In addition to Mike and I being friends we invested in several land deals together. I will miss him.
