I apologize for the late timing of this, but I just found this buried in my Facebook somewhere. Kathleen Michele, Popeye's wife asked me to convey this to the group.
"Hi Animal...
This is Corky's (Popeye's) wife
He truly enjoyed all the flying time you spent together. I hope you will let all the others know just how very much that 'flying time' meant to him."
RIP Popeye
