It has been a year now. It is not any easier. All of Mike's USS Soley Reunion work lives on with his sailor friends who carry the load now. Thank you Mike for all you did for us.

I can't help going back 50+ years and remembering you were one of the few real friends I had on Soley. You were truly a good shipmate. I am missing you already. Thanks for everything you did Soley and her collective crews. Linda, Robin and Jay, our Prayers are with you.

There are no words that can express how heartbroken I am at the loss of Mike. He was a fine man and a good friend. He loved his, and yes, treasured his family. I will always fondly remember them all. Mike was a part of my life that will always be dear to me. It was Mike that gave me some of the most memorable times of my life. He will forever hold a special place in my heart. To Linda, Robin, and Jay, my thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.
