Not sure what to say?

I am saddened to find out Mike had passed away so many years ago. Mike was a member of our Wintering Over group W/O 80. We were the 25th Wintering Over Group and also we were there for the 50th Anniversary of Admiral Byrds Flight over the South Pole. You all knew this, but Mike was incredibly nice to everyone he met. From our Wintering Over (US Navy)group we are very saddened at the loss of our friend. Rest In Peace Mike.

Wava, I am so sorry to hear about Mike passing away. It was such a shock to open up email from mom about it. Michael will be greatly missed. May God bless you and keep you in his arms during this time of sorrow. Love, Lori

We first met Michael in 1978, while stationed on Midway Island. It was during the Christmas Holidays.

I didn't know Michael as well as most step sisters do their exstended families but he always treated my father good and my condolences go out to Wava,Dennis, and Tim and Linda.
