May the love of Jesus surround you and bring comfort for your loss. Mike was a great guy we met at The Gathering Church in Newton, He was always quick with a smile and a kind word. We talked about Learjet often as I had retired from Lear Flight Test, Mike always had a good story to tell of his travels. I will miss him.

Mike was a great guy and a good friend. We met at Learjet and later worked together in Field Service. My wife, Rita, and I became close friends with him and Randy. We traveled together for Learjet functions and later, we visited them in Tacoma, WA. As a fellow Marine, Mike and I often talked about our time in the Corps. Mike will be truly missed. Our condolences to Randy and Shawn during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Mike. See you later. Semper Fi! Dave & Rita

Randy & Family, please accept our heartfelt condolences. I had the privilege of meeting Mike when I began with Learjet in 1995, and I have many fond memories of working with him over the years. Mr. Agus, his friend in Indonesia, also extends his deepest sympathies and recalls the positive impact Mike made through his support of Learjet 31 aircraft deliveries in Indonesia. He will truly be missed. God bless him.
With sympathy,
Herb Chahal and Katy
