Today we remember our friend and longtime PAOS member, Michael “Mike” Weber, who passed away on July 28 after a long illness.

Mike was a dedicated supporter of PAOS, a respected colleague, and a very good friend. It was my privilege to interview him for this podcast a few years ago, and in his memory we are honored to share that conversation again.

Mike will be deeply missed. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Mary, his family, and all who knew and loved him.
