Mike used his photographic skills to become the official ship’s photographer. Built in 1945, the ship was nicknamed the “Dirty Ernie”, a much deserved title! We were both E-3 Seaman aboard one of the oldest ships in the 7th fleet. Mike and I were friends for most of 1967-69. Just heard the bad news that my best buddy on the USS Ernest G. We will always be dear friends for all eternity. We will be looking a lot better, a lot younger, compared to how our mortal bodies have aged over the last 33 years. We will all be in our prime of life at that time in the future with immortal bodies. Mike, we will see you again on Resurrection Morning. He was always ready to help me if I needed help. He was, and still is, one of my most dearest, most trusted friends I have every had.

Jeannie would hold his hand the entire time and kept telling him we love him. He loved taking pictures and took some remarkable pictures of me in the woods of Larch Mountain that I still have hanging on my wall in the break room of our medical clinic.ĭuring his last days in the hospital we visited with him weekly. In his last year of life he could not get out much so he called our office and spoke for hours every week over the phone, taking turns talking to either me or Jeannie. He visited us on a regular basis for many years. We hit it off right away because we had a lot in common.

We met while practice shooting in the woods of Larch Mountain Oregon.
