I met Mike at Hamilton Standard many years ago.He was a great guy and could always be counted on to support the tests we ran there,even if it meant working 12 hour days and through the week end.
But the thing Mike realized is that life is precious and meant to be enjoyed,not just worked to death.
He invited me up to share his incredible "front yard"Staffordville Lake that is, for an evening of fishing.We had a great time ,caught some fish,enjoyed some beers, and talked about what's important in life.
That fishing trip made me realize that Mike was on to something to good to be missed.
My wife and I built a house down the street from Mike and Sue and Meagan some twenty years ago and have been enjoying this lake ever since.
Mike knew what is truly important,spending time with family,friends and of course fishing.

We will miss seeing you around my friend,

Jeff and Rose Gay
