That's very sad news. I can't recall where we were stationed together (Kef?) but Mike was indeed a superb OT and person. Heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
John, any idea of when and where Mike passed away?

Randy,
Mike was in the Virginia Beach area and he passed away on the 26th of this month after a battle with lung cancer. There is a viewing tomorrow (Friday) from 6 - 7:30pm at Altmeyer Funeral Home on South Battlefield Blvd. in Chesapeake. A celebration of life ceremony will be held on Saturday at 11am at the community church of Chesapeake.

Thanks, John. It's awful seeing our Navy kin pass...

Randy,
Since our community was as small as it was, it's like losing a family member every time you hear of another. Very sad. Way too many have died from cancer as well. I have always wondered if there is any connection. Anyway, hope all is well with you, your lovely bride and the rest of your family.

I served with Mike in Hatteras 77-80, He was a real professional even as a third class...Sorry to hear this news, and so young too.

I remember Mike and he was a fine OT and he had a wonderful demeaner that made people instantly like him. He will be missed.

A really good person, Mike will be missed.
