Hey.  It’s Alan Fleeger.  I wasn’t aware that Mike had passed until today. So sorry for your loss Barbara, Penni and Chris.  I really enjoyed working with Mike in Singapore and more importantly being his friend.  He is missed.  

I played with Mike and his sisters every year when he would go up to Rusk to visit with his grandmother. We would go fishing almost every year. Guess I had know him since we were about 5 years old. We lost contact after graduation. Had thought several times about trying to find him and his family but guess time just ran out.  Bless him and his family.

Mike and I were good friends starting in Junior High school and stayed in touch over the years. Mike was not a large boy in Jr. High but could beat almost anyone in arm wrestling. He worked with me in knowing how to lock my shoulder when arm wrestling and his favorite thing when competing was to look the other guy in the eye once the match started and say " let me know when your ready to start' then slam their arm down when they broke their concentration. Mike was a good and honest man and I will always cherish my memories of him. RIP Mike, hug Jesus for me and say hello to Peggy for me.

My deepest condolences and love to your family. Mike taught me how to throw a horseshoe (pretty well I should add) and I'll never forget what Coors Original taste like!! Those are the happy times I will always hold on to.

Will miss you a great deal. Rest with the Lord Brother.

My deepest condolences to family and friends of Mr. Mike Bridges.  I work with Chris Bridges, Mr. Mike's son.  May God keep his arms wrapped tightly around you during this difficult time of loss and sustain you during your darkest moments.  Prayers for all during this time of sorrow.

Mike was a true friend. I can not think of a more knowledgable, generous and fun man to be around. I will miss Mike terrible. 
Thank you Bridges Family for loaning Mike to the community.
You you truly be in my prayers.

 sorry to hear your dad passed away. I am sure he was a good man just like you Chris. Jose R. Salinas

I enjoyed working with Mike through the years beginning with the BOP, Baytown, on to the Fife Ethylene plant Scotland, then the Singapore projects, afterward on to several contract projects for affiliates and contractors. Mike was always a good reliable associate (and buddy), with a great sense of humor. I can see that big laugh as I write this. Mike was always ready to lend a helping hand, no questions asked. He will be greatly missed, but I look forward to catching up with him in a while. My condolences and prayers are with the family.
