Mike Lauterbach, the beloved husband of Margaret Grey of Hamden, CT. He was born on September 10, 1951 in Waterloo, Iowa. He graduated first in his high school class and went to Carleton College with a double major in Physics and Math from which he graduated summa cum laude. He obtained his PhD in high energy particle physics at Yale and went on to Post-Doctoral Fellowships at Yale and New York University. Most importantly during his time at Yale, he met his best friend and lifelong partner Margaret - at none other than Yale's Graduate and Professional Student Bar. They were married on July 30, 1977. Mike's career was with LeCroy Corporation in Spring Valley NY where he rose to be Corporate Vice President for Technical Marketing. As he often said, he 'taught geeks how to be better geeks." He has been retired for 6 years and is survived by his wife, brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their families as well as two beloved Maine Coon cats, Arwen and Gimli. There will be no wake or funeral per his wish, but a remembrance ceremony may be held in the future. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to the Margaret Grey PhD fund at the Yale School of Nursing or to a charity of your choice.
