reported that:
Mike Strepper passed on Dec 23, 2013. His
brother said he had been suffering from many
ailments over the last few years and that he was
found on December 23, 2013 by his son. Paul was
found unresponsive and resuscitation efforts
proved unsuccessful.
"I was lucky enough to have participated in many
Pink Team missions with Mike, h as a Scout Pilot
and me as a Gunner on a chase slick. My crew
chief won the Silver Star rappelling down to
rescue him and Glen Veno when they were shot
down on a mission." "We have nothing but good
memories of our brother Mike and will never let
him stray too far from our thoughts. One day we
will all see him again as we take our place at
Fiddler's Green."
