Michael Eltman

[lyndsyeltman]

Hello out there.  I am not sure if anyone will recognize the name, but I believe my Uncle Michael Eltman was a part of your group.  Sadly he passed away from cancer and other complications last night.  I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone remembered him.  I didn't spend much time with him, but I know that he was a really good guy.  He spent his last days with his brother, my dad, in Northern Arkansas.  I am attaching a picture that I found. 

Thanks,

Lyndsy Eltman

I flew several hundred missions with Mike . Freddie T and I were talking about him only a couple days ago. Now we know why he has been missing. Rest in Peace Shipmate, keep the coffee hot , and the beer cold ---- all too soon we will be together again

So very sorry to hear that Mike has passed.  We served with him on Det 1 & he was a good guy and gunner.  He will be missed & sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts & prayers for Mike and his family. Rest In Peace Shipmate.

Lyndsy our prayers are with your family. Like Dobson I flew many missions with Mike. He was an excellent and trustworthy gunner. We all really lost track of him. I will send you an email.

  May God bless the Eltman family. Mike you are going to be missed!! Mike was one of the many hero's from the Seawolves and it was a pleasure knowing him down on Det 1! If you were looking for Mike on his off day down on det, all you had to do was look at the Seal's area

God Bless,

Tom K
