Mike was a class act , wonderful person to so many including the Lederman family and myself. No member of TPA was more dedicated and loved TPA as much as Mike Lombard always was., I remember eating with Mike in the kitchens with the main chefs of some of the fanciest restaurants in St Louis. May he always rest in Peace Joel Lederman Past Natl President 2015-2016
