Over his distinguished tenure, he became a highly respected Designated Engineering Representative (DER) to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for GE, leaving a lasting mark on the industry. 

Beyond his professional life, Mike was a man of diverse passions. In his youth, he played semi-professional football (soccer) in England and remained a devoted fan of the sport throughout his life, closely following England's national team. Liverpool, and his hometown club, Bristol City. He was equally at home on the golf course, whether playing or watching. An avid traveler, Mike also found joy in the simple pleasures of life -playing cards, games, and engaging in spirited pub sports.

He is survived by his wife, Janet, her two sons Jon and Ben (Amy) Nutley and 5 grandchildren; his children, Simon Dann and Alison (Christopher) Heller; and his cherished grandchildren, Madison and Johnathan Heller.
