The passing of Mike Campanelli, field operations manager for Connecticut, on March 28 was a tragic loss for all of CMC. But it was particularly tough for his friends, peers and co-workers in Connecticut.
“Our team is just heart-broken by Mike’s passing,” said Joe Roy, director, Northeast Program Delivery. “Mike cared deeply about his employees and coworkers and had a way of making everyone feel welcome.
“Mike always had a thirst for knowledge and was full of positive energy,” Roy added. “So much so, that he was one of the inspirations when developing one of our Company values, ‘Bringing the Energy’. He was a great friend and person to work with. Speaking for all of his friends in Connecticut, he’ll be missed terribly.”
Mike, who came to CMC in 2016, started as a lead technician but worked his way up to field operations manager. He was known for his kindness, friendship and leadership. That kind spirit was exemplified by his decision to be an organ donor.
