I met Michael in 1985 when I went to work at Seagate Technology. We became almost instant friends. He had a welcoming smile, unassuming confidence and a grand sense of humor. I was always amazed at his knowledge of just about any subject we talked about. We spent countless hours together on a huge variety of adventures and outings, he was such a good friend to me. He was devoted to his family and often spoke of them. I will miss him deeply, I love you buddy. I’ll see you again when I cross over.
