The Kupper’s (cousins who live in Alberta and Ontario ) always talk about Mike when we reminisce on our bear encounters. We were fishing and camping at a remote cabin in northern Ontario when Mike was assigned to babysit  us while our parents went fishing.  Shortly after they were in the boat as we were sitting around the picnic table a big black bear sauntered out of the woods towards us at the table. Mike jumped up and took us down to the beach. We started doing jumping jacks and screaming at our parents to com back and scare the bear away. The noise and  commotion probably did the trick. We know all the McQueens loved fishing and visiting northern Ontario. Mike hope you’re enjoying meeting up with family.

I knew Michael for only a very short time. I'm a volunteer with the VA Chaplain's Angels of Presence/No Veteran Dies Alone program. I sat with Michael in the hospital during the last few hours before he passed.  He couldn't speak but he was awake, and I talked to him as one old Navy guy to another. I only knew he was Navy from the USN tattoo on his left arm, and I figured he had some great stories to tell. I wish I could have heard them. When I left Michael's bedside around midnight, I told him he had at least one old sailor praying for him, and probably many more. When I came back later that night, he'd passed. I said a prayer for his soul and saluted him. His family is in my thoughts and I hope that very soon the time will come that you can tell his stories and smile. Godspeed, Michael.
