I used to work with Man in the field engineering support group when I first joined Scientific Atlanta in 2006. Man was always having a positive attitude and a good sense of humor. He was a nice peroson, a good team player, and easy to work with. His strong troubleshooting skills and good work ethics made him a good fit in that group.

I am saddened to hear the loss and still cannot believer the tragedy happened to such a nice friend. Man, rest in peace!

Man was always polite and helpful. He is fondly remembered by all at Northern Telecom / BNR and here at Zhone too. I would talk to Man every once in a while at Perimeter Church for a meeting I attend on Wednesday nights. He was there playing Badminton - those guys are crazy! When Zhone brought over the AccessNode from Nortel, we brought over the VTBM card too. We had an issue with the cards which required debugging. Everyone who knew anything about the cards had not been brought over - except for Man. We got him involved, and he told us about some debuggers used just for those cards. A frantic lab search ensued, and we managed to find the debuggers. These were scary looking devices, wires and connectors all over the place. To Man, they were an old friend. He was able to hook them up and in a matter of hours determine what the problem was and guide us to a solution.

Patient, kind, helpful - just plain nice. Man always carried himself with integrity and a willingness to not only help, but engage in your life. It was great running into him at Perimeter, I am so saddened to learn of our loss.

Peace Man, I know your Faith has brought you home.

Man,

You will be missed.  You were a man of incredible value and ethics, always there to help a coworker and friend.  

So sorry to hear of your passing, may you rest in peace.
