My condolences to Chris and the Smith family. Mike was a mentor. I worked with for many years. He was instrumental and helping me to develop personally and professionally. Rest in peace Mike.

I remember in the beginning around 1971 Mike & Chris was going to Kansas City, & I rode along to meet up with my sister (his classmate Lynnelle Hempel Klippert at that time) it was just weekend and I was so greatfull.

I attended Lincoln High with Mike and worked with him a Safeway. He always was always hustling with a smile on his face.
