To Mike's Wife Loretta and His Family:
Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. Mike was a valued employee and a person who I considered not only a co-worker but a friend. We had many interesting conversations and shared vacation memories, pet stories, our jobs, etc. Mike would give me tips on great restaurants to try and even gave me a Zagat book. He was thoughtful and kindhearted. On several occasions when I was taking up a collection for someone in need, Mike would be one of the first people to come by my desk to make a donation. He was a generous person. When I told him that my husband and I enjoyed wine tasting when we vacation he brought me a map of wineries in our area. He also enjoyed cooking and shared a Beef Wellington recipe with me that he made just a few months ago. He was an interesting individual and a stickler for perfection. There will definitely be a void without him here at Essex and I will surely miss him. I will keep Mike, Loretta and his family in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. With My Sincerest Sympathy, Linda Hinton
