My condolences to the entire Massa family on the passing of the Captain who inspired in me possibilities that I could have never foreseen in my youth. He set a stage in my thinking, along with his best friend, companion and wife, that silently spoke a message of welcoming and inclusion when I was a newly minted ensign. The kindness and light hearted welcome I was extended whenever I was lucky enough to find myself in their company lives on in my soul. I like to think that this in turn touched, in some small ways, the thousands of students who have been in my classes over my teaching career.
I will always remember you with a happy heart.

God speed Mead! God bless your family!

You are THE Best as an Naval Officer, Pilot and Navy Captain.

I will see you when it is my time. Save a cockpit seat for me. When I get there, we will take long journey like you and I did in the S-2, when I was assigned to NARU San Diego.

I will miss you until my time!

God Bless!!
