firehawkordy Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 (edited) Some of you may have seen the addition to my signature this past week. Last week I was informed that one of my best friends in HCS-5 was killed in an auto accident. Mike had done two tours in Iraq and was looking into staying on active duty when he was killed at home. It didnt hit me till just a few minutes ago when I came accross a photo from my retirement. He was not only a good friend but one of my Sideboys at my retirement. Mikes presance in that ceremony was special to me as I worked in two rates in the Navy, Aviation Ordnance and as an Aviation Boatswain's Mate. I was lucky to have Mike represent the AB's. I miss my friend and I and all who knew him are that much poorer this week. Edited November 13, 2004 by firehawkordy Quote
+pcpilot Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 The one sad thing Ive learned as I have gotten older about livin it seems is the dyin part. What makes it worse is when its someone you appreciate. My prayers go up for his family and friends along with sincerest condolences. Quote
