Michael C. Lemke

My deepest condolences to Barbara and the family. I met Mike when he started his career at the L.A. Herald-Examiner in 1977 when I was working the Classified Copy Desk. His work ethic, professionalism, warmth and sense of humor were the reasons why he was so well liked by his colleagues. I remember his great stories of hunting at the "ranch" with Steve Hearst and many nights having a beer across the street at Corky's after a long day. I last saw Mike at an ANCAM meeting in Denver in the early...

My sincerest condolences to Barbara, Rachel and Sarah. I knew the Lemke family when we lived in Brier. I remember Mike as being totally devoted to his family. Barbara, Rachel and Sarah...hugs and love to you all!

Gloria and I wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to Barbara and the girls.
I met Mike when he was the Classified Manager in Seattle. He was then and continued to be one of the leading forward thinking people in the newspaper industry. Perhaps, more important than that, Mike was a solid person and always fun to be around. Life is merely a series of moments, and I have spent some very fine ones with Mike Lemke.

God rest his soul.

My deepest sympathy to Barbara, Rachel and Sarah. I met Mike many years ago when we were both colleagues in the classified department at the Herald Examiner. Barbara worked in the phone room then and Mike in automotive ad sales. I had the privilege of watching their relationship blossom. Mike was a devoted family man. He was also a consummate professional and a truly good man. I didn't see him often over the years, but when I did he was warm, welcoming and eager to catch up. I have heard many...

My sincere condolences to Mike's family. He was, indeed, a kind person and a will be sorely missed at The Seattle Times. Many blessings to you Mike - good journey.

Mike Lemke's passing is the end of a great man's life. A man who touched so many lives and enriched each and every one of them. A man who looked beyond the outward and truly saw the inner makings of a person. His mentorship to me will be missed dearly. His challenge to me to reach my full potential will forever be present in my life and serve as a motivator for me in any task I undertake. In the end, we can all take solace in the fact that we are better beings for having known Mike Lemke....

To Barbara, Rachel and Sarah, my deepest condolences. I have known Mike for over 25 years, I will miss him a lot.
The time I spend with Mike can only be called the best of times. I will savor the memories for the rest of my life.

First, to Barbara and the girls—my deepest heartfelt condolences. Mike was always a family-first kind of guy..just don't know what else to say about this.

I first met Mike Mike when he was working with Lee Bauregard at The Los Angeles Herald Examiner in the early eighties.

We became fast friends sharing stories of industry happenings and then, tactical challenges facing his paper. But we always ended our talks with lighter fare and never met a subject (or a golf course) we did...

I knew Mike when I was a little girl. My mom, Theresa Mahnken worked for him for many years. My godmother, Kathy Sheridan was his assistant, and I remember one particular year on a "Take Your Daughter to Work Day", I got the privilege of working with Kathy and Mike. I don't remember much (I was about 11 or 12), but what I do remember was what a nice man he was and I remember thinking how great it must be to have a boss that was so funny and nice.

Having lost my own father at the...
