Michael Leslie McPherson

Mike was a great friend. He was always so deeply genuine and kind. I hated hearing of his death. My tears were shed for a good man.
My prayers are with his family and friends.

I met Mike back in 7th grade. We soon became best friends, we've remained close for the next 60 plus years.
While college and careers took us in separate ways, we kept in touch whether it be a phone call, meeting at the class reunions or visiting each others homes.
I'm thankful that Bobbie and I had the chance to have dinner with Mike and Tomasa this last Feb. in Ariz. Who would have thought that this visit would be the last time that we would see Mike.
Love ya my friend, until...

He was surprised by my answer and I believe he felt the same way my dad some time felt when dealing with me, but still...

The first time I met Mike was in the conference room of the Graybill, Ostrem, Warner and Crotty law firm. Leo Graybill, Jr., was assisting me with a client negotiation where Mike was opposing counsel. Mike was polite, well prepared and ultimately said "Leo, I understand what you're saying but you know I will prevail on that issue." Mr. Graybill was most gracious, conceded that Mike was right, and we settled the claim amicably. This was one of the early lessons I learned from both Mr. Graybill...
