Big Mike was a rock and a confident inspiration of what can be accomplished with posative thinking, some sweat and " i know a guy" resources. I cant count how many times Mike pulled us out of a jam down range with something he come across and "squireled" away. He knew when something was going to be needed, later. I remember during 10th CABS rotation to iraq, Mike was the PC at 3/10 GSAB. I had an aircraft down for a rare part that had a long lead time to get. Someone said,"If anyone knew where one was, Big Mike would know" I drove over an hour through the desert to see him. I needed to get my aircraft up and back to my Task Force AO. Mike just laughed, pushed back from his desk, pulled out an old ammo can from under the desk. Opened it and pulled out the part I needed. He said, "I herd you were coming". He gave me a hard time, gave the part and said I owe him. Eveyone I knew, that knew Mike owed him at one point or another. That was Mike, he fixed what was broken. He was a bull and didn't accept "no"or " this can't be done" as an option. He was resourceful, strong and confident. He was a tough Battle Buddy that you wanted in the fox hole next to you. He brought order to chaos and instilled reassurance to everyone around him. I'll miss you brother, till we meet again. Above The Best! Ducit Amor Patriae Criag Starr
