R.C. Hendrick Laborer Named Apprentice of the Year

Mike Bunker was a familiar name to the industry; his uncles were well known concrete masons, truckers, and loggers for several years; working on many major construction projects throughout Michigan while logging and operating a commercial sawmill. When people hear the last name Bunker, they think of a hard-working family with true grit and integrity. Mike has definitely shown that the second generation shared the same values and work ethic.


Mike is a reliable worker with a "get it done" attitude. As an apprentice, Mike has shown a deep commitment to the Laborer's Local 1098 training programs and curriculum. He is a quick learner and applies what he's been taught both in the classroom and in the field.


R.C. Hendrick & Son is proud to employ the 2018 Laborer Apprentice of the Year, Mike Bunker.




S.I.R. Award Recipient - Keith C. Hammis

The S.I.R. Award was first awarded in March 1976 to President Gerald Ford for his leadership in matters affecting construction. His exemplification of the qualities of Skill, Integrity and Responsibility made him the unanimous choice for AGC's Distinguished Service Award. Since that time AGC and its Chapters have presented S.I.R. awards to highly notable achievements related to construction.


Keith C. Hammis began his construction career at the age of 17 as a carpenter apprentice. Through the years Keith learned more about the industry, increased his skills and towards the latter portion of his career worked as on onsite superintendent. Keith, now 83 years old, is retiring from R.C. Hendrick & Son after a whopping 66 years with the company! His last project was the McBain High School Auditorium. Keith’s passion is his family first and work second.
