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 everything that I learned and that they taught me to my next construction Job and it served me well. to Chris and family. my sincere condolences. may God keep you and bless you. 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 attended Lincoln High with Mike and worked with him a Safeway. He always was always hustling with a smile on his face.
