Thank you for your service to this nation.


My wife and I were saddened to hear about Mike's passing.  Mike and I served together in the Navy having met at Whiting Field, Milton. FL where we were Flight Instructors.  We became fast friends and he was a groomsman in our wedding.  Over the years we kept in touch via Christmas cards.  This past Christmas we did not receive our usual card and a subsequent follow up letter went unanswered.  Out of concern, this prompted us to search out his name and thus we found his obituary.  We will greatly miss him.  He truly lived up to his moniker 'Biggie' as we affectionately knew him.  Mike & Alicia Hohl

CDR Mike Boettcher served as my Commanding Officer while we were both in the NOSC Wichita Voluntary Training Unit (VTU).  He became a friend of whom I enjoyed conversing with over the years.  He always portrayed military professionalism and honor at numerous military graveside services we conducted.  I am saddened by his short life and not being able of fulfilling his retirement dreams.  I will miss his friendship and demeanor.   - SCPO Brent B. Reinhardt
