Bonita and family, I am a fellow Sigma Nu from SMSU and remember Mike as being a very nice and soft spoken man. I liked Mike and am so sorry to hear of his passing and your loss. I exchanged emails with Mike last year as I was being treated at MD Anderson in Houston for metastatic melanoma. He said at that time to let him know if there is anything I needed or he could do. Such a nice thing to say. Prayers to you Bonita and family. May your memories of Mike comfort you during this difficult time. David Schempf
