Michael Ellsworth
Poughkeepsie, New York
1962 – 2020 (Age 57)

Michael had been employed as a Senior Technical Staff Member at IBM in Poughkeepsie, where he worked for over 30 years. Michael was a Master Inventor with over 300 patents, and was the winner of the 2020 Alan Kraus Thermal Management Medal from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for a lifetime of thermal innovation.

His memory lives on in all the joy he gave to those who loved him.
