I miss you so much dad. There is so much I want to talk to you about, none of it important, just things I know we would chat about because they were interesting, but mostly so we could hear each other. I miss hearing you call me "Bubba Shawn". Though I've long since outgrown it, and I never really liked it when anyone else called me that, I didn't mind when you did. And now I miss it so much. I miss you so much. I know you're watching us. How proud you would be of Kristin and the beautiful family she is raising. I love you dad.

As I reflect on my working years, Mike March stands out as someone of great influence. He was a disruptor not satisfied with the paradigms of normal. He was always up to the challenge of seeking a better way of doing things. We worked together for almost nine years and established the early concepts of Tool Management in the manufacturing industry. His footprints in the cold heading industry and aerospace fasteners are a legacy. I visited him and Harold Jason several years ago while out on the west coast. I'm saddened to learn of his passing but know he is in a far better place - Shalom

I miss you dad.

Mike, it has been a PRIVILEGE to work with you for the last 37 years. your support in Europe has been tremendous and I learnt a lot from you.
How can I forget the time spent together when I worked with you in Carson during the 90's.
you were a smart man and a very good freind.
We will all miss you.

I was lucky to work with Mike for over 5 years at Alcoa Carson. He was a great mentor , peer and a good friend. He re-enforced in me the "lead by example" principal. He was a smart, hard working man.
I believe his spirit is among us, specially at AFS Carson, so you guys over there, watch what you are doing. LOL.
Mike, rest in peace my friend.

I had the honor of working with Mike March a little over two and a half years. The one thing that stood out about Mike was the way he was able to connect to all types of people, he was the kind of person who you were instantly drawn to. I remember the first time he had met my mother. It was at an Alcoa work party event. Mike came over to my table and said hello Heidi, who is this young lady next to you? Referring to my mother. I proudly said this young lady is my mother Rebecca. Mike said well Heidi i'm so glad that you brought your mother to our Queen Mary event, it's so nice to met you Rebecca. Even in that brief moment he had left a lasting impression on my mother and myself. I felt so welcome to be at this event, given that it was my first Alcoa event. I also got to met his lovely wife Marina,both are excellent dancers. It was such a joy to see him out on the dance floor doing his salsa dance moves. He put us all to shame when he hit that dance floor. I later told him "That in my book he would have won the best dancer award for the evening event". I'm so grateful that I had gotten the chance to meet this wonderful human being. Mike will forever be missed. Ps. Just a side note: I Security: Heidi Clifford @ Alcoa Carson will be lighting a candle for Mike and also lighting one for his Family and Friends.

Today I will say “so long” to my friend Michael March…Not “good bye” because I know I will see him again in Heaven! I worked with Mike for over 17 years, he was one was of the kindest, smartest and best boss anyone could ask for! I want to thank him for teaching me so much over the years, I am truly going to miss you my friend…until we meet again, “so long.”
