Joe and I met him for the first time at the consult in Bananeiras, where he was an amazing presence — ever the leader in whatever situation required. Later on he and Judith stepped up to lead programs for McDonald’s store manager TMAs (Total Market Approach) using the Lens methods. And then Mike took on keeping us connected, through the Directory. Mike was a quintessential “teacher”, and lent all those skills wherever he stood and worked. His abounding, authentic love and care for every person he encountered was profoundly evident — especially as he wanted to make corrections to each of our addresses and e-mails ever after…. We will love you ever, thereafter, Mike……<div><br></div><div>Mari (and Joe) Crocker<br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jul 15, 2024, at 9:00 PM, Paula Philbrook via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="auto">Micheal’s Daughter,Brooke posted this on Facebook</div><div dir="auto"> <div dir="auto">FYI- On Sunday, July 14 , Michael Tippett made his final curt ain call. We are profoundly sad that we had to say goodbye to this funny, smart, witty and kind soul, but we are relieved that he is no longer in pain. During his 86 years on the earth, our father/grandfather lived a life of service as an educator and community leader. He was a true Christian who lived out his faith quietly, b ut resolutely.
