It was always a pleasure to spend a bit of time across the desk from Mike, listening to his stories and jokes as well as noting his sage legal advice. When I first met him as a board member for Dance Artists of Tulsa, I had no idea he was so funny and such a great guy. It didn't take long to become friends and I've always treasured that friendship.
Our thoughts go out to you, Reba and Dara along with your family, as you make the transition. Mike was a character who will live in all our memories for a very long time.

My name is Carol Grant. Mike will be greatly missed!!! There are so many great memories I am not sure where to start! We 1st met over an adoption in 1994 that ended up in court for 4 years with the Indian Child Welfare Act. I am a Birth Mother and Mike tutored me through that whole 4 years of what to say & not say & how to act before a judge. He made a great mentor. We became great friends during that 4 years! We won that case & I cannot help but feel that was because of Mikes Talents & knowledge! Mike's case will be pulled for decades to come & will help many people to win their battle also! He used to tell me over & over that WE had made history! I believe it was strictly Mike's work that won. He put his heart & soul into that case. I serviced his copier for many years through a copier business I had. So I saw him on occasion. I also did some mobile notary work for him with a Mobile Notary Business and we were friends on Facebook. Seems he was always making kind remarks that I so did not feel I deserved! I now wish so much that I had taken him up & pursued that lunch he wanted to have just to visit where court, office equipment or notary work did not get in the way. Just to visit. Mike was such a Kind & Caring person. I will miss him until I can see him again.I can only imagine the heartache & loss that Reba & Family feel!! Mike,Thanks for the wonderful memories. Till we meet again!
You’re the first man I ever loved. My heart is lost without you. I love you, daddy. We will forever love you. Your grandson has been playing with your Pokémon in your honor. He says, your army is safe with him. Until we meet again, we promise to take care of mom.
