Dearest family,
My heart breaks for you all for the loss of this incredible man. I have so many fond memories of him from my childhood and I never saw him without a smile! You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this time.
Dear Leslie and the extended family,

Cheryl and family:
So sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. Mike and I worked together in the late 70s on the 767 program. We did a lot of wind tunnel testing at the University of Washington together. We sort of parted our ways y over the years and I ended up working at the FAA the rest of my career. I often think about the days of working on the leading edge slats and trailing edge flaps of the 767 and thankful for our recent conversation on the phone. My thoughts go out to you and your family
