 Additional Information
Last Known Activity:


      I waited one year from his passing to make this NTWS profile for my first HS-15 AW Shop Chief, First Crewman, and best of all my friend and Bruddah, Ken Muller. He took an interst in me and took me under his wing as a new rookie Aircrewman. His lessons went beyond the Helicopter and we bacame fast friends.  Twenty years later, Ken welcomed me into his home when I was attending the US Customs Service Academy at Brunswick, GA.
      Ken passed away on 11-29-2017 from Pancreatic Cancer.  He lived a full life. I will add more to this profile, as time allows.  Rest in Peace my Shipmate and Friend.
