Mike Huckaby was a "one of a kind" – "straight from the heart" kinda Guy. Sincere in his approach to life and every new acquaintance. He was a good listener and could recite every detail of events that happened 40+ years ago! I should know, he reminded me of so many things we did "back in the Good Ol Times….In DETAIL. I got to know Mike real well, over at time that span from 1969 til 2011. We spent a lot of time together before I moved from in Tulsa for work. Our time together was full of fun and becoming each other's best friend in need and forever. He received honorary member of my family of 9 by my Mom who enjoyed his random visits til her passing in 2000. My baby daughter fell in love with him when he showed her his tender side and attention. His Mom Dru, is responsible for teaching Mendi the word Moon….one of the first words she ever spoke…..before she said Mom….? I moved back 2 years ago to Tulsa and I got to spend a little time with Mike and Amy. But he never let me forget he was thinking of me, that's the incredible friend I had the pleasure of having. He never missed sending me a Birthday Card for every year since I knew him. No matter where I was I could always depend on his I love you, being sent in the form of a Birthday wish. We had talked on the phone, of meeting for a birthday celebration our July Birthdays, a week before he left us. In our last conversation, to catch up and set a date and place to meet,took the time to ask about my family, wanting to know that everyone was doing all right. He talked about a lot of our younger memories and the wonderful times we had and the people who were part of our memorable history. He remembered every detail, where, who was there, what I was wearing, what we did, what he said….what I said…He was undoubtedly the most sincerely interested and caring Man/best friend I have EVER known. I don't expect to meet a more genuine friend or man more gracious in his manner and gregarious in his love of life and people. I am at a great lose not having him at least a phone call away. But he left for all of us something forever….. his spirit will be with us. For him, there is always a place in my heart where his memory will rest as a comfort, cherished, joyfull and unforgettable loving memory. I was blessed to have known him and honored he shared with me his never ending friendship. My respect and love forever, Dinah
