The World of Welding

Remembering Mike Moore

We lost more than an instructor on Wednesday, January 21, 2015; we lost an HIWT family member.

As an instructor, Mike symbolized the ultimate in teaching as he always had the time for each

individual student. “He truly loved each and every student he came in contact with. He was an

extremely dedicated employee and truly had a passion for teaching the art of welding” said Ron

Scott, VP/GM.

It was constantly evident that Mike loved his job and each and every one of his students. His warm

personality and friendly smile will truly be missed.
