Jenny and Missy,
I had the distinct pleasure of knowing and working alongside your Dad when he served as a board member for the Kansas Bar Association. His laughter was contagious! My husband and I were always intrigued by his travel stories. His work ethic was top notch as was his kind and caring soul. Mike will be sorely missed throughout the Kansas legal community.

I’m terribly saddened to learn of Mike’s passing. He was always so nice whenever we visited, although it has been a number of years since I’ve seen him. Prayers for his soul and for peace for his family.
Dear Mike, you were as close to being a member of our family as you possibly could have been. Sixteen years of your presence at all of the girls’ concerts and games and graduations and important days. You were there, celebrating them and telling stories and taking so many pictures and making memories that we will always remember. Thank you for being so proud of our girls and for always giving Melody her favorite kind of attention. You will be missed dearly.
Daddy, today was our first holiday with out you here. We miss you so much, and our hearts are broken 💔…We love you..Lexi, Jenny, and Michael
