Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace, my fellow LHS class mate.

I am so sad to hear of Mikes passing. Your family has been very important to both Bruce and his sister Sue Menke. Praying for you and your family as you navigate this difficult time. With sympathy, DeAnn Allison Cudly

I was saddened to hear about Mike's passing. as many have said already he was a mentor to all of us that worked at Stephens & Smith. I was primarily on the foundation side but once in awhile someone would put out the call over the radio and I drove truck 13. is there anyone that could stop and strip these driveway forms? and I was proud to say I'll do it and that was primarily because Mike and Bob instilled that in you. why I didn't finish my construction career at Stephens& Smith I took...

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. The Smith family always has a very special place in my heart. Mike will be greatly missed, but he is himself with the Lord.

I just found out about Mike. I have known him since we were kids. Chris I know what you have gone thru these past years. I don't have the words to express how I feel. I am very sorry.

I am truly sorry for your loss I have known you all through my family The Martin and The Preditt family and your family. He will be greatly missed.

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

So sorry to hear of your loss. Her was a wonderful person
