Michael Arthur McConnell

Just a note to let you know that I hope time has been of some help in dealing with the untimely loss of our wonderful friend and family member. Mike left me with many great memories and a small gift that hangs in a frame so I can start every day remembering. God bless you all. Glen

It is hard to believe a year has past since we lost Mike. Frankly, I still think of him often and need to remind myself that he is no longer there to share the thought, the story or the joke that I know he would love to hear. He will always be a special friend and I continue to wish his family all the best. God bless Mike in heaven as he blessed Mike on this little Earth. Glen Johnson

My favorite memory is his performance as the eponymous title character in the play JB at Nolan. Had I known he & Patti were in N'awlinz at the same time as us, Christine & I would have been glad to have them over. I lost Christine in September. Maybe they've met by now.

A good friend. He always took time to chat when we saw him. He will be missed by many. Our prayers are wIth him and his family.

Mike was a classmate of mine as we learned Mandarin Chinese with the United States Air Force in Monterey, California. Then we completed training in San Angelo and several survival schools and flew together on the RC-135´s at Kadena, Okinawa. He was a kind, quiet man, a few years older than me, and always had the time to help struggling classmates with the difficulties of learning Chinese. In Monterey I remember meeting Patti as they had a small apartment off base and we occasionally found...

Sending love & prayers to your entire family...

Our lives, personal and professional, are enriched by Mike and Patti. This loss cuts deeply but those memories will be sustaining forever. One of the best was when we literally made headlines in the Sunday Miami Herald : ""Texans Party It Up" at the premier of a Jimmy Buffet- Herman Woulk musical premier at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in South Beach. Photo included. May God continue special blessings on this great family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your dear family and you. Linda Beckworth and family

Mike was the personification of class and professionalism. I enjoyed my years working with him.
