Mike Bendick was one of the most respected vendors at Harry M. Stevens and Volume Services Corporation. He had a wealth of knowledge as a military veteran. Remember him as one of the father and son vendor teams at the Stick and the Coliseum. Later he became president of my Oddfellow Lodge. Mr. Bendick was a part of the greatest generation and will be missed by many.

Mike was a good neighbor for many years..
One of my most vivid happy memories of Halloween when all of our children would wait for Mike to come home at trick or treat time with his pink popcorn,,of the times we would gather at the house after mr Byron put the turkey in the oven and we could party with mike and Denny..

I knew Mike Bendick for forty years in vending at all local venues--He was a thoughtful and courteous man on the job and honest to a fault as a vendor. He was helpful, friendly, and a man's man in our profession. I was proud to know him.
