Jane & family,

We are so sorry to hear about Mikes passing. Our friendship goes back more than 35 years where we worked together at Lockheed Missiles & Space. Mike was a consummate professional. We got to know all of you on a daily basis. He was a proud husband and father. He always looked at life as being half full with a smile.
Judy Stibbe, Gordon Tong, Mike and I enjoyed lunch and spent a couple of hours together a few years ago reminiscing about all the good times we had. Lots of laughs and reflection on our long term friendships.
It was our fortunate opportunity to know and work with Mike. We will carry fond memories in our hearts.
Although we are not physically with you at this time please know your are in our thoughts and prayers.

Warmest regards,

John & Linda Callan
