Mike-D,
I'm so glad we ended up together as cubemates and got to know each other. I'll always remember our crayon drawings, comical IM and email strings, random txt messages, and the multitude of good times we had both in and outside of work. Even when things got really rough Phussel and I could always count on you to make us laugh. My time on AEW&C would not have been nearly as enjoyable (or tolerable) without you there with me.
I crisp high five to you my friend.
Kim Leary, 4 September 2007
Mike Delgeyy! Thank you so much for all the laughs. I'll never forget our random IM's, your hairy arms, and your gourmet meals consisting of frosted burritos and oatmeal. Thanks for always putting a smile on my face, work will never be the same without you. I'll always miss your contagious laugh, your horrible spelling and your never ending high fives. Until we meet again my friend... *high five* *smack*
Stephanie Kim, 4 September 2007
doode!! waht r you diong? ahaaha! Well now I feel kinda bad about taping your phone to your desk...well not really. I'll take care of BORIS for you while you're gone. We've talked Rachel Ray into killing herself so you guys should be getting married soon, and Ashton and I have started making a giant snowball 4 U ;). And don't forget to add Gandhi to your friend list when you join Angelster. To my BFF: We love you and miss you and will never forget you.

What a joy to work with Mike Delger who made any gathering more fun yet in all of my encounters was sensitive to not do so at someone else's expense. He even brought fun to just walking to meetings. His smile and enthusiasm for life will definitely be missed!
Bill Mickelson, 5 September 2007
Mike is a great inspiration to me. His sense of humor and quick wit was a ray of sunshine in a sometimes gloomy world. He always brought cheer and life to whatever setting he was in. His passion and zeal will continue to live on in those he touched.
Don Phanco, 5 September 2007
Crazy, wonderful Mike. Your contagious laugh and enthusiasm uplifted us all. I had too much fun listening to the answers to "which would you rather be..." I said "I miss Mike" a hundred times after you left the program. You knew that one of the secrets to life and joy is laughing and making others laugh at themselves and the world around them. You'll always have a piece of my heart, and I'll never forget you. Until we meet again…
Linnie Heaverlo, 5 September 2007
Mike-D,
There needs to be more people in this world like you. Your sense of humor and positive attitude were an inspiration and we can only hope to carry on the attitude that you showed us. It was our pleasure to get to know you.
Mark Cypher, 5 September 2007
Thanks for making work so much fun. Your great sense of humor and work dedication made you a pleasure to be around. I will miss you and always remember the good times we had working together.
Gene Cook, 5 September 2007
Hey Delger...it was short, but of course fun!!!! then again I would not expect anything less from you. Your attitude (fun and enthusiastic), actions (no description needed here), work ethic (professional yet fun), and products you produced (no rework) were things I could count on from you on a daily basis. I’m still ticked that you were sucked over by that “other” Program….You WILL be missed…..
Darin Gee, 5 September 2007
Mike - I will miss your always smiling face and wonderful attitude. In the midst of chaos, you found humor. On my worst day, your e-mails made me laugh out loud. You even made Thursdays (risk meeting day) fun. Things are just not the same around here without you. I will never, ever forget that wonderful combination of brains and that smile. Thanks for all the joy you brought to us!
Gioia Akers, 5 September 2007
Damn Mike, why is it always the good ones that have to go early. You brought a smile to my face just when you walked into the room. You brought such a fun style to work, I wish there were more people like you around here to liven things up. I'm going to miss your happy go lucky attitude. Rest in peace my friend.
Diane Pomeroy, 5 September 2007
Mike, Thank you for being a dependable and bottomless source of happiness, smiles and joy. We, your co-workers at Boeing, truly enjoyed working with you and appreciated the zest for life that you shared with us. Your family should be very proud of you; we are. Thank you for being you. You will be missed.
M. Mikasa, 5 September 2007
Delger - The risk meetings aren't the same without you there. All I had to do was look at you and we'd both bust out laughing for no apparent reason. From one giggler to another, this one's for you. :)
Anthony Ochoa, 5 September 2007
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes 'AWWW!'"
I miss you...see you at the KOA in the sky.
5 September 2007
Mike, you brought joy and laughter to our lives! We all miss you!
sharon lamm, 5 September 2007
What a pleasure to have Mike in our presence with his positive energy, great attitude, and sense of humor. He lightened the atmosphere in almost any setting and developed many friendships in his time here at Boeing. He will be missed by all who knew him.
Bill Vaughn, 6 September 2007
Mike.. Your short time on earth touched so many of your co-workers and friends lives. You will be missed. May you rest in peace.
TP Reilly, 6 September 2007
I remember your first day at Boeing, when we took the tour at the DC. Your excitement to see the AWACS and meet the people you would be working with, your enthusiasm for getting started and your incredible sense of humor. I so enjoyed your laugh, your smile, your silly IMs, your zest for life and especially being a part of your transition to Seattle and Boeing. You have made your mark on my life and many many others. I will always remember our "probie"!!!
Barb Baker, 6 September 2007
Mike - Your laughs, smiles and memories will live on forever! But it just won't be the same without you. We are going to miss you so very much.
Mike and Jamie Neilson, 6 September 2007
Mike - I think you were the only person on AEW&C who ALWAYS had a SMILE on his face regardless of how tough things got. You reminded us all how important is to live life to the fullest and not to take things so seriously all the time. Your shining presence will be greatly missed.
Lisa Do, 6 September 2007
Mike brought joy to my heart every time I was around him. May the angels in heaven keep him company and let him know how much his many, many friends will miss him. I know he really touched my life and I will always remember his humor and wit. I am glad he was part of my life.
Sharon Vote, Retired Contract Manager, Boeing, 6 September 2007
Mike, It was a pleasure working with you this past year in our little cubicle. You feel like family to me. I'll really miss your chatter, your positive energy, your great sense of humor, not to mention your ranch dressing covered "frosted" burritos everyday, and your "crisp" high fives. Using your words, we truly have "sadness in our hearts". Thanks for sharing a portion of your life with us. We were truly blessed. A final "crisp" high five to you Mike. I'll miss you.
Russell Tanaka, 7 September 2007
Mike - You are an inspiration to us all with your great sense of humor and optimistic attitude. Please send us those vibes every now and then!!!
7 September 2007
Mike - You're one of the few people I know that knows how many ping pong balls it takes to fill up a 747. You are truly one of a kind! Knowing you have made me a better person. I will miss you.
Julie Lee, 7 September 2007
Mike, I will always remember you as one of the most positive and funny guys I have had the pleasure to work along side on AEW&C. Thank you for adding humor to each and every discussion; I'm a better person because of you; until we meet again my friend.
Roger Chikamura, 8 September 2007
Every moment I spent with you is ingrained in my head...is that GOOD?!?!?;-) I loved you like no one could kid. Always will. You were my soul mate...So we decided it will just have to be like the end of Titanic and we will meet on the staircase...but it will be the stairs at the Lebouris' house! HA!! Hey...your hair still looks great ;-) LOVE YOU
E Lovell, 10 September 2007
It took me awhile to want to write a note because understanding what happened can not be imagained, it was only you and you alone. You were such a brilliant star, you were so much fun, but you must have been in so much pain, Mike, we will miss you, all that you left behind, we'll manage, but we'll wonder, did anyone notice, could we have done something. Your missed by many already.... May Peace be with you my Friend.
A Friend in the shadows, 11 September 2007
I didn't get the chance to know you, but I am grateful for the lives you touched while you were here. By reading the comments left by others I can get a taste of the remarklble person you are.
11 September 2007
I have a few things to say that only a handful of people will understand...Mike + Michelle = Skeletor in Slacks, Christmas High Fives, Jugs of Wine, Broken Doors, Happy Friends, Clogged Toilets, Hallmark Sit Ins, Fires in the Rain, Beer and Curbs, Good Times Noodle Salad, What Happens In The Jungle Stays In The Jungle, and of course the best hair EVER. I love you Mr.
Michelle Elliott, 13 September 2007
My days brighter, laughter louder, and my grin couldn’t have been more shit-eating wider - and this was because of you, Brother.
I’m missin you something wicked, Mike. But no worries, I’m posted up, Sparks in hand, settled into your musty Lazy Boy, thinking how I’m gonna race you, butt-naked on a Big Wheel, runnin rings round angles in Heaven.
While I’ll have to chat with you about your ability to perfect the Irish Goodbye, until then, Mike: Bail ó Dhia ort.
Brian "Here's to King Delger" Johnson, 14 September 2007
Ever since I met your crazy ass, I could never seem to get rid of you. hanging at my friends houses, becoming my garbage man, worked for my neighbors, you were everywhere. And even though you are not present, you are always here in my heart and thoughts.... still calling me some obscure name. miss ya man!
Scott Wilhelm, 26 September 2007
Michael, I just wish I had a chance to say goodbye to you, or hear you tell me why you were hurting so bad you felt this was your only choice. I miss you so much and not a day goes by that I don't think about you a million times. I love you so much and can't wait to see you on the other side. I will keep talking to you throughout the day because that is the only way it makes me feel better. I just hope you know how loved you were by my whole family.
Your cuz, 9 October 2007
Although I don't understand, I can understand. See you soon.
A Friend, 17 October 2007
I think about you all the time. You're constantly smiling over my shoulder. I will always love you like you were still here holding my hand.
1 November 2007
Mike: We only met a few times at work (Thursday Risk meetings), but your friendly and positive attitude left a lasting impression. It really meant a lot to me, being a new guy who felt out of place and didn't know many people. Genuinely nice and sincere people like yourself are hard to come by these days. So I wish you all the best, and I hope you found what you were looking for, because you deserve it man. Peace.
Nate Binder, 18 November 2007
Mike, even though we had not seen or talk to each other for a longtime I often thought about you and the fun we always seem to have together. You were always making me and the rest of the guys laugh. When I was told about your passing I was extremely sadened, I knew the world had lost a great person and would be a lesser place without you. You will be greatly missed by all and I will continue to think about you for the rest of my life.
Your old friend Quinten Spain, 4 February 2008
6 years. Still think about you all the time. Thanks for the occasional visits. Miss you horribly but so glad you're at peace.
6 September 2013
Glad you still pop in every now and again. Think about you all the time. Miss you, friend.
