Dear Pat and the Lembke Family,
I wanted to let you know how truly sorry and deeply saddened I am to hear about Mike passing away. He was such an incredibly nice man and a wonderful friend to my dad and sister. I know my dad and sister could not asked for a better friend. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to meet him and will forever be grateful to him for his devoted friendship to my family. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family during this most difficult time.

With love and sympathy,

I'd like to provide my condolences to the family. Mike was a very special person. My interaction with Mike was during a very impressionable time for a young baseball player. He had a gift for striking a positive cord even while we were striking out. Mike was always a favorite of the players and parents of the teams he coached. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Warm Regards,

Kirk Gutekunst

We were sorry to read in the Examiner about Mike's passing. Our memory of Mike goes back many years to his coaching of our son, Kirk on the Hiboy baseball team. We have a great deal of respect and admiration for the way he coached and related to the boys in a gentle and loving manner. You have our deepest sympathies.

Pat, Shelly and Mark,
I am so sorry to hear about Mike. I will always remember the good times with you all, especially Shelly not wanting me to give her that special treat on Haloween and tying her shoes strings together and Mike, Todd and my Mike breaking the front screen glass and going to your house afterwards with me coming home to blood on the floor. WHEW, times fly. Take care to you all and God Bless.
