Mike joined the Mid Cities chapter of Texas Society of Professional Engineers (TSPE) at the urging of his wife, Teresa. While working for Freese and Nichols in 1987, Mike met his future wife, Teresa Lamb, also a Civil Engineer (Structures), and married her on August 13, 1988. They have two beautiful children, Christopher (29) and Elizabeth (27). Mike was devoted to the Knights of Columbus, Council #8512 at St. John’s. Mike was also a committed volunteer and member of Boy Scout troop #434.
Mike’s leadership skills, his huge heart, and uncompromising respect for his fellow human beings drew everyone who ever met him to admire and love him. His quick wit and his infectious laugh will truly be remembered and missed by all who have met him. Although Mike actively volunteered for many organizations, he felt that his greatest personal achievement was being a father to his two children. His love for God came first and was a devout Catholic. He extended this devotion to his family. Mike will be greatly missed by all who have known him, but find comfort knowing he is with our Almighty Father in Heaven.
