“It is with great sadness that I write this memorial for Mike Fath, a wonderful colleague and friend. Mike was an incredibly dependable and reliable person to work with, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that everything was done to the highest standard. His positive attitude and cheerful personality made him a joy to be around, and he had a great but different sense of humor that never failed to brighten up our days. Mike was also an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled professional who taught me a great deal during our time working together. He was always willing to share his knowledge and experience with others. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him and learn from him. – Rest in peace, friend.”
