It saddens me to learn of Mike's passing. I have many fond memories of Mike from our days working together as flight instructors at Freeway Airport, and then later at Henson Airlines. Mike was full of energy and positivity! His light shined brightly!

I was sorry to hear about Mike but it immediately brought to mine many fond memories. If some of these don't make sense Frank can translate. Like when we used to play Corcair tag with Mike, Frank & JB. or the wine attic & who can forget the Yorktown caper.I remember one time we were hiking along the Appalachian Trail & we saw two blackbear cubs hurrying up a tree not more than 15 feet from us. We watched a bit then we hurried away. Yes, Good memories, good times and good friends.Rest in peace Mike. John McCabe I'm sorry I can't be there but I'll be there in spirt.
