The Man with the Heart of Gold ... I known Mikey for almost 3 years from work at AAR Corporation..He was and still is my Lead at work. Let me just put it this way... This man had and still has a Heart of Gold. He was always introducing new ideas and methods at work, almost MacGyver-like to make our work easier and more efficient. He always had something funny to share as well..so mikey would really be the person to lighten up the mood at work. None of us really like to have to go to work, I know Mike didn't either but he made the best of it, even when he was in a crappy mood like we all have some days, he always put in the effort to shrug it off for the sake of others around him. Mike also was really the backbone of creating a small family atmosphere in our department..I really appreciated that, it made our department what it is today, a close-nit of friends, not just co-workers. Its just these things i talk about that can only come from a person with a Heart of Gold. When my mom passed away last spring of 2021.. Mike was really really there for me..almost like a 2nd dad which helped me greatly through my time of grief, If it weren't for him. I remember when he grabbed me and hugged me while i cried my eyes out because i was still so much in pain from my mom passing, he told me to let it out while he held me and after he looked me in my eyes and told me "I could see it in your eyes you needed a hug Moe!", I probably wouldn't be who i am today in many ways because of him..I always respected Mike, always looked at him as an elder that had wisdom and knowledge that was very sound and valuable, so i always listened when he spoke..and i've learned so much from him. ... In one way im upset i can no longer be around him..but then again, Mikey deserves a better place than earth...And now he has it. Its always hard to realize we will no longer see eachother during this life time but we must remember, its just a short time and one day...we'll be back together..not in our earthly bodies that ache and hurt nor the troubles of this world but we'll be together in our new bodies, in a place called Heaven, with our Creator at a place that has no pain and suffering nor any sin but only goodness and a freedom thats inconceivable to us right now..not the kind of freedom we know here on earth but one that will blow our minds that is on a scale of the universe, God promised us all this .. So when i tell myself this...its not so hard to handle any more..Mikey is better off than any of us now, that's for sure. In fact, im sorta jealous he's experiencing it right now while we're still stuck on earth! Imagine that for a second, he's actually experiencing all that Glory and Freedom right now, with our Creator! That blows my mind and gives me a feeling of happiness! I love you Mikey!!! Until we meet again, my friend! - Moses Lawrence
