I had the pleasure of working with Mike for over 25 years at Milwaukee Electric Tool. This is very sad news. Mike was a gentleman who spoke often of his love for his family. He would and did routinely go out of his way to help other as he did me. We attended the US Golf Open at Pinehurst NC years ago and laughed till we cried. He was always a glass half full person seeing the best in everything and everyone. May God rest his soul. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and loving family. God bless you all.

So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I interviewed Mike as my replacement with Milwaukee when I was promoted and transferred to Kansas City in 1976. I retired back to SC and had several opportunities to see and visit with Mike, although had lost touch in recent years. Mike was a fine person whom I enjoyed knowing and he did a good job for the company we both loved and appreciated. My condolences to his wife and family.

How sad it is that you are mourning the loss of your dear Raymond. Certainly, this is a very painful period. However, take comfort in knowing that God is aware of your pain and in due time, he will indeed act to forever remedy the despair as expressed in this encouraging video link** Please accept my condolences during this time of distress.
