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.

Many fond memories of POET gatherings - especially the one hosted by Mead in Carlsbad. A donation has been made to San Diego Military Outreach Ministries in Mead's name.

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!!
