I will say you were all very fortunate to have had such a great friend , and that goes both ways , from all of your posts I can tell he was a great friend to you and that you were all great friends for him .
True honest best friendships don't come along often in life , when they do they are to be cherished , and mourned deeply when life's passing takes them away from us . I didn't know Mike , but I can tell by the love you all have for him I sure would have liked to have known him .
You all have my utmost sympathies for the loss of your "Aviation Soulmate" ....
