I am so sorry to read this. I know Frank Tillman AkA Sarge looked up to him. When Sarge was in National Guards he looked forward, going to Dover to shoot the Canon with Mr. Frassico. RIP sir. Please look out for Sarge.

Condolences. Such a sad day. Mike could be hard sometimes as a boss sometimes, but he had a big heart and was always right there to help when life was filled with one struggle after another. Could always count on him to be there when you really needed an ear. Countless times he was there for some very difficult moments in my life. One of those guys you could always count on no matter what. He will be missed.

Rest in Peace Mike. Thank you for the many years of service to this State and Country. The Delaware Army National Guard has lost one of its finest. Your dedication and commitment to the Soldiers will truly be missed. I have many memories of you from the early 80’s when we were all in 262nd Maintenance Company in Delaware City as young SGT’s. You always stood your ground throughout your entire career to do what’s right for the Soldier and the mission. Some leaders thought you were just being hard-headed at times, but I always knew the real reason, “you truly cared about the Soldier”. My prayers are with you and all of your family, Rest in Peace my friend

Mike you were a dear friend, soldier, co-worker and supervisor. I learned many valuable skills and knowledge over the years serving next to you.

I’m deeply saddened to have just now found out about Mike’s passing!! We served together at Det 1, 262nd Maintenance Co in Delaware City 2003-2006 when I transferred to the Colorado Army National Guard.
I admired him for the way he took care of his people.
He will be sorely missed!!
