Riley Dewitt Mixson

I flew with admiral mixing in Vietnam he was always very professional and squared away I knew he'd go far in the Navy I stayed 22 years and made Commander so I felt pretty good about my career God bless and hope you all are fine he was a good man

I had served with the Admiral when he was Chief of Staff of ComCruDesGru 3. I was the Electronics Technician Chief Petty Officer attached to the Material Office. The Captain was having some problems with his Boat's transmitter and he asked me my opinion about it.

He drove me there and we got it fixed in a couple of hours and it was no problem for me. Two days later he...

13 years of service in the Navy, Capt. Mixson was the benchmark of CO´s! RIP Sir.

I flew with admiral Mixon off the USS Coral Sea in VA 25 during the Vietnam war always very sharp dressed immaculate in his uniform really enjoyed flying with him sorry to hear it passed away my name is Larry r Ramsey

I have fond memories of Admiral Mixon when severing with him when he was a Captian and COS for Admiral Howe, ComCruDesGru 3. My Condolences to the Family.

I'm sorry for the loss of your, I had the honor of serving on the staff of Carrier Group TWO during Desert Storm. While making sure the mission was accomplished he always made sure that his people were taken care of as well.

`Hawk´ made a significant contribution to my career and life as a Naval Aviator.

He loved his family, the Navy, and his country.
