I am saddened to hear of mike's passing. In my time at the City of Los Angeles as a helicopter mechanic. I got to know mike quite well. We spent a lot of time in the field in the Owens Valley. Mike was not only one of the finest, most professional pilots I have ever known. But was a great human being. I am proud to have called him my friend. He was the type of person that made the world a better place. He will be missed.

I was very fortunate to have worked with Mike from 1987 until 2009 when I retired from Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. As Chief Pilot at the time I hired Mike as a Line pilot but it immediately became a partnership in overseeing the advancement and improvement to the professionalism of the flight department. Mike was an absolute professional in all of his aviation duties and I was very fortunate to have him as a friend and co-worker for those years. I can not say enough about his steady reserve in helping me through some very difficult periods in our joint endeavors to improve the aviation unit.
I very much respect Mike Finnigan and appreciate all he was to me.
You are missed very much, may you be at peace.

To the Family and friends of Mike,
Please accept my personal condolences, Mike was a great person and a top notch pilot for LADWP. I flew with him only a few times before he promoted to Chief Pilot and didn’t fly on a regular basis.
Mike was the best kind of employee anyone could ask for, he had a great attitude, worked hard and was one of the most reliable people I’ve ever worked with.
I was crushed when I heard he passed on Father’s Day, it was a tough day for me since it was the first Father’s Day since my 27 year old died in 2020.
Mike was a very private person and didn’t share a whole lot about his personal life with his co-workers, we had no clue that he was sick. Mike was going to retire in early 2020 and decided to cancel and stay another year, he wanted to leave the job in better shape than when he got it.
He will be sorely missed and in my thoughts and prayers.
Tom Patzlaff
