After the Army, Mike ran a number of businesses and eventually returned with his family to his native Pensacola and worked for the Navy before returning to his true passion of flying. Mike worked for Atlantic Southeast Airlines then Airborne Express, where he was a Captain on 767s.
Mike retired in 2004 to pursue his favorite hobbies of flying, aircraft building, fishing, and hunting. He could always be found sharing a story with his buddies at the airport (where he had a hanger and airplane) or the gun range. Mike was always willing to share his time and eager to help others, especially if it involved building something.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Brenda (née Hall), his son Michael R. Boswell II (Tammy Seale) and five sisters, Janie Bonds (Curry), Connie Boswell (Claire Berger), Mary Bowers (Robert), Betty Boswell, Debbie Cook (Bill), and numerous nephews, nieces, and their families. He was preceded in death by his mother, Lucille (née Sonnier), his father Joseph Boswell, and sister Judy Boswell.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 10:00 am at Bayview Fisher-Pou Chapel -- Bayview Memorial Park, 3351 Scenic Highway 90e in Pensacola, Florida.
