Dear Pat and Kids, I think the most enjoyable tour I had in the Navy was at CECOS when Mike was the XO. We had a great staff there who were all very competent and fun loving and Mike was the epitome of a great officer for all of the new ensigns on their first tour. Pat was a perfect partner. Life is fascinating. Mike died and Jo-an two days  later. They must be reminiscing about all of our great times at Hueneme. Peace be with all of you. Much, much love.

Dear Pat and Family,
I am sorry and saddened to hear of Mike's passing. He was a great mentor , teacher, 'boss' and one of the most inspirational leaders I have known. My CEC career and life were made better because I 'crossed paths' with Mike Maskell and the Maskell Family! My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember him.

Dear Pat and Family,
Carol and I send our deepest sympathies to you at this very difficult time of the passing of your dear husband, father and grandfather.  Mike was certainly a very devoted and dedicated naval officer and a valued friend!  We have many fond memories of times with the two of you during our concurrent service, as well as a more recent chance meeting in Boston in the late 1990s.  May God provide you comfort and strength as you treasure many memories of a wonderful life together, and rest assured that Mike has earned his eternal reward and is now at peace forever, without pain.

Dear Pat and Family,

Bill and I were saddened to learn of Mike's passing.  He was a good Dad, husband and navy officer.  We often talk of our times together in MS, shared with Stan and "his group".  Mike is at peace now and suffers no more, a blessing.
With deepest sympathy and love,
Bill and Jo Ann Clark      Flower Mound, Texas

Dear Pat and Dear Family, please accept our most sincere condolences on the passing of Mike, a truly great man. Ursula and I will remember you all and Mike in our prayers.

My first encounter with Mike was remote, but telling. Arriving at Purdue in 1966 after you had left, the NROTC unit issued me the engineering textbooks used by Mike. All the important bits were annotated in green ink, which seemed curious at the time. 

Serving with you and Mike and your family in Charleston and Washington was delightful and inspiring. Following you to Harvard, EA to the Chief, and PWC San Francisco Bay were tours made smooth by simply steaming in your wake. As I told Mike repeatedly, no officer had a greater impact on my career than he. We are most grateful to have experienced first-hand his extraordinary leadership and his unquenchable enthusiasm to engage every tough issue.  

The Navy and our beloved Corps were made better by everything Mike touched, taught, and fixed. He was our hero, our standard of excellence, an officer of profound and lasting influence.

You and Mike are people of faith; we join you in that. We rather think that paradise today is ablaze with green ink...touching, teaching, and fixing.

Pat and family, Mike was an inspirational leader and mentor to many of us.  His commitment to his family, his friends and his Navy was unexcelled.  He brought tremendous enthusiasm to work everyday and it was contagious.  He inspired all around him.  He leaves the world a better place for those who knew him.  We will miss him very much and are so sorry for your loss.

Isobel and I have had the pleasure and privilege of being close friends of Mike and Pat for 55+ years.  They lived in the apartment across from us in San Diego when we were both married back in June 1960.  During these years there have been many fun, unusual, and memorable events we have experienced with Mike, Pat and the family and they shall never be forgotten.  We have seen their 4 children grow from birth to the fantastic adults that they are today.  We will truly miss Mike and our many many wonderful times together.  Pat and the family will stay in our prayers and thoughts.  We know that Mike is now resting in a well deserved peace. Fair Winds and Smooth Seas Mike!

Mr. Maskell swore me into the US Navy back in 1984.  I'll will always remember him and that day!

Dear Maskell Clan (I include spouses, grandkids, and sibs), 

Words just don't seem enough.  Capt'n was fabulous.  Julie and I have been talking and memories just flood back.  Gosh, he could make a great cup of coffee (don't forget that pinch of salt) and the best omelet with his little folding pan!  I always felt so cared for - no one could pack my car to ensure that no one on the highway knew that I was on a longer trip.  Best of all, was the gift of open friendship that lasted decades - and along with Mom Maskell, created such special human beings in Dawn, Shawn, Shannon and Erin - and they are passing that fun, smarts, and joy to the next generation.  You all are in my thoughts and prayers.  Love you to pieces.  Cathy

We loved Mike and had so many fun times together.  Never will forget the lobster dinner when he returned from Harvard.  Maskell, our cat, had a great namesake.  Mike was a straight up guy who loved his family.  We love all you Maskells and continue to treasure our long friendship.  Our deepest heartfelt sympathy.  Love and prayers, Lou and Sherron Sandrini

Dear Pat,

Our thoughts and prayers are for you and the family. Memories of you (singing so well) and Mike (smiling and laughing at life) are treasured.

Luv Mike and Lyda Carricato

Dear Pat and family:  Mike has been a dear friend for over 50 years and we are very sad at his passing.  We wouldn't want him to suffer any longer, but it is so hard to know that we won't see him again.  We have such wonderful memories of you, Mike and the entire family and value the years of our sustained friendship even tho not always in the same part of the country.  You all are in our thoughts and prayers. May Mike rest in peace.   
This comes with love from Tom and Nancy Emsley

It was a pleasure to work with Mike!  We worked so very well together!! Sorry to hear of his passing!
George E Fowler

Dear Pat,  Mike was one of the most inspirational leaders whom I encountered during my career.  Please accept Cynthia and my deepest sympathies.

Pat and family.  Sorry to hear of Mike's passing.  I will miss him very much.  I didn't know Mike at Annapolis.  Esta and I met Pat and Mike as we were entering the 'O' Club at MCAS, Yuma, in '70.  From then on our families were close friends and remained so through the years.  Mike was absolutely the Best!

Mike touched many lives, and made them better.  I was the Aide to the Chief of Civil Engineers when Mike was a Captain at NAVFAC Headquarters in Alexandria.  When I had a stressful or bad day, he was the one who would close the door and lift me up.  The lessons I learned from him have stayed with me through a Navy career and through life.  He was a great leader, a great mentor, and a great friend.  Most importantly, he was a great human being.  My thoughts and prayers are with Mike and the family.

We are very sad to hear about Mike.  We are remembering him fondly from our time with him at Harvard as our "Can" Group Leader. He was also instrumental in helping to arrange our wedding 37 years ago! He has a special place in our hearts. Our love and kindest thoughts to Pat and the children.

Pat and family, Please accept Evelyn's and my deepest sympathies be with you during this time of loss. We hope you can find reassurance in the care of your friends and family, and allow the loving memories you have of Capt. Mike to help you through this time.  He will always be remembered as a hard working, honest, and respectable man, and a great SEABEE.  God Bless and Keep You.

Mrs. M, Dawn, Shawn, Shannon, & Erin,
Our deepest sympathy for your loss. Captain Maskell was the definition of an Officer & a Gentleman. Whenever I was in his company, I always stood a little straighter and wanted to be and do better. He was a role model, leader, and mentor for generations of people in and out of the military. We all will miss him. 
Much love to you.

Growing up, I always felt (and still do) like we were one big family! The Sandrini's and the Maskell's!  Mr. Maskell was such a beautiful and amazing person. His memory will always be as well. I will always remember what a wonderful father he was to the kids and what a kind and super husband he was to you, Pat.  Our families share so many memories, and they are all wonderful,  I am so sorry for your loss...

Dear friends, Mike was so special to this family.  We will miss him.  His faith and courage has been a special source of inspiration to us.  We will remember him with love and smiles.  God bless you all.

Dear Pat and all the Maskell kids

I am so sorry to learn that Charlie Mike Mike has passed. You know he was more than my EA the famous Green Flash. He was my mentor and hero.  His standard of excellence and selfless dedication set the bar for my generation in the Civil Engineer Corps. We are so lucky CMM was a key part of our lives.

Love you all

Bill and Roxann Lewi

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Mike. I attended Grades 1 through 8 with him at the Shrine of the Little Flower school in Baltimore, Maryland. He was a good friend during grade school. He was generally considered the "smartest boy" in our combined class of 141. I had hoped to see him at one of our Reunions over the years, but it never quite worked out that he could join us. I have sent a notice to our classmates. We will be praying for Mike and his family.

Dear Pat, Dawn, Shawn, Shannon and Erin,

My deepest sympathy to you all on the death of your Husband and Dad.  Please know that he and all of you as well as all who mourn his passing will be remembered in my prayers.  He surely was a special person.
Love, Edda
