A belated condolence. I just found this site. Mike and I were good friends and classmates in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Alabama. We both graduated together in 1965. Mike worked at IBM and I worked at Boeing during Apollo days in Huntsville. I have many fond memories of our college days. Rest well, old friend.

Sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, and that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. May that bring you comfort at this difficult time.
