"I have memories of Michael, too. When he and his classmates attended school it was Smithfield Grade School and I was his teacher. It became the Red Brick School when the community purchased it. Since then it has been called The Red Brick School and is known for its chicken and noodle dinners during the Scenic Drive...... Sue Roberts"

"I'm so sorry to hear of Michael's passing - I was also a classmate of his at the Red Brick Schoolhouse in Smithfield. He was always kind and quiet - years after high school I ran into him.....donning head to toe biker garb of course. May your memories sustain you and bring you peace at this difficult time. Godspeed Michael... Angie (Herrick) McCollum"
