On the contrary, it intensifies in ways that consistently surprise and confound me.

All those once-a-week, long distance phone calls become a daily conversation. In a sense, fathers move in with you – an arrangement that would have been unthinkable in life, turns out to be enriching. (At times I feel so much sacred love in the room that I sense a kind of appreciation that we spared each other its awkward expression in life.)

I won’t kid you, this relationship is not without complications. But if he was a good man, a father has the power to elevate a son’s soul.

In this, Greg is indeed fortunate. While I did not know Mike as long or as well as many of you, I did get to know him before his illness. He possessed a profoundly gentle spirit, one that I suspect we will be hearing from for years to come in the form of beautiful music.

I remember the good times with you all at Hunter AAF in 1968. Saw Mike a couple times after flight school at Fort Rucker. I am sadden by your loss. He was one of the good guys.
Warm Regards,
Jim McKenzie

My condolences for your loss. I think of Bill Burkhardt leading Morning Watch at camp with the Psalm 121 ‘I lift my eye up to the mountain from whence shall my help come…’ i’m always amazed by how the words we have heard so many times before, keep having new meaning an inspiration. My thoughts and prayer are with all of you. Don
