18 years old - Army Air Force

Dad created many great memories, from his piloting his Cherokee 180 into a fighter-like swoop toward another private aircraft to his enjoying waves crashing over the raft in Colorado's Browns Canyon. He sought adventure and the smiles that returned after the events.

Sadly, we thought he would make it home after the surgery. But Dad's heart was as tired.

As his health declined and the doctor's warnings rose, it was hard to deny him his unhealthy pleasures; but, that...

Mike always asked if we'd 'Done any Flying Lately?' - we always think of him when we fly - and of his infectious grin.
To him, we were the Air Force couple. We miss him too!

I send lots of love and prayers to all of Mike's family!He was a very special friend and I have so many great memories of our travels in our Airstream Trailers, and the fun we had at the many Rallies we attended! HE WILL SURELY BE MISSED BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

During his 65th Wedding Anniversary

Bye Dad. You gave us courage, strength and ability to see the humor in it all.
Enjoy all the ice cream you want.
Love, from Kathleen and Richard
