I just heard the news this morning and am very shocked and saddened. Mike was one of my closer friends in the r
otary community and a big inspiration for me to get started. His workmanship on his RV-4 was constant source of higher goal-setting for me. We previously owned a C-140 together to get our
tailwheel experience for flying our
RV's. He was always a very careful and conscientious pilot.
His house is in Spring Valley (East County San Diego) and he leaves behind his wife and children.
Here is another article I found:
Attached is a picture of mike with his sail plane and his RV-4 in the background.
I will miss him very much and my thoughts are with his family.
