Every year, on April 18 Mike loved to say “You won’t believe this, but one time it snowed on my birthday!” It is still the first thing I think when I wake on April 18. If anyone knows which year it was, please let us all know. I will just picture Mike as a boy on his birthday, smiling at the snow. Forever my dear, Mary

Hello Mike and Mary! Happy Birthday, Mike! Our times together at the AIA and later at the Project Managment Institute seem like yesterday. I cherish the times together and think of you often.

As my Special Forces brothers often say, "until Valhalla, Brother!

My very best wishes to Mary!

Mike, you know I will always remember you.
Mary, you are also in my heart, and hope you are well.
with love, Martha

Happy Birthday Sweetheart  It once snowed on your birthday. I love you and remember you. We fly through time as you first drew us.

Thinking of you today Mike. Although you are gone, you are not forgotten. In a way you've gone home, so I listened to Going Home, the theme from Local Hero to pay my respects and remember you, my friend.

Will always remember our friendship and professional architectural working relationship Mike! R.I.P!

Time may have passed but your spirit is still with us Mike. R.I.P

6x365 days cannot change the love you inspire in us. We love you through space and time— forever. With deepest appreciation for the life you lived. Your dearest, wife.

Mike, I miss you, your smile and your cheerful, can-do attitude. Great days at the AIA. Best wishes to Mary. 

Your spirit is still strong with me Mike, as are the memories. Belated happy birthday yesterday 4/18/2021. R.I.P.

Yes, that 4 years has gone so quickly. Although Sue and I are so far away in Sydney, Australia we mention him during the year and/or something triggers a memory. We feel fortunate also to have met Mary and Mike at their home in Oklahoma on one of our trips after first meeting Mike in 2000 in Sydney when we held a PMI Conference. A nice, cheerful, unassuming and helpful man.

My absent friend and greatest love, we walk as if in sleep without your light to guide us.
Your beloved, Mary (with Zoe, and Sammy)

It's hard to believe that Mike left us four years ago. As I said back then, he was the best manager, role model and mentor one could ever hope for, and most importantly a good friend as well. He is truly missed. Hoping you are well, Mary.

I'll always remember our shared travels, dinners and long discussions together. My thoughts are with you Mike.

Mike, your memory IS a blessing. Chris and I tell stories about times with you. Always holding you in the Light.

I think of you often Mike; the times spent and things we did together, the projects worked on together, your talents, and our conversations about anything. Rest in peace always my friend.

Hi Mike! It seems like just a few days ago we were at the AIA. and later at PMI. You achieved so much, and enabled so much more. One of these days we will join forces again. I miss you. Best, Virgil

So many, many good memories of our friendship and times spent together in Norman; work, play, socializing, and later visits. Happy Birthday Mike! You are missed.

Mike, happy birthday Brother! 
It seems like yesterday we were together at the AIA, and later PMI. Your smile and your professionalism were unmatched. I only wish I had been able to convince you to join ASME in New York where you would have added so much. 
Happy Birthday. I miss you!

Mike was a small, but significant rung on the ladder of merging technology, process and humanity into an integrated form. His intelligence and innovation were only overshadowed by his humanness. 
May he and his legacy long live.

It is hard to believe that a year has passed since we lost Mike. I still think about him often, still cherish the years we spent together at PMI, and am forever thankful for having had the good fortune of knowing him as a mentor and friend. Roseann and I continue to hold Mary and family in our thoughts and prayers.

Mike was my brother in law and he was a loving and dedicated husband to my sister Mary. I really miss him and am grateful for all of the happiness he brought to my sister even though his time was so cruelly cut short. May he rest in peace now after so much suffering.

Mike was my friend and colleague at The American Institute of Architects, and later at the Project Management Institute. Mike was the consummate professional and friend--always looking on the positive and bright side; always finding ways to accomplish what others thought difficult or impossible. Mary and Mike were (and are) kindred spirits, with such wonderful humor and compassion. We will miss Mike greatly (until we are all reunited), but rather than grieve at Mike's loss, I celebrate my joy and good fortune in knowing and working with him, and Mary, and calling Mike and Mary my very good friends. None better!

Mike was a professional inspiration to me, as well as a friend. As a kind and creative soul, beyond his intelligence, he brought thoughtfulness and integrity to his role at PMI. His personal friendship was a delight. He was fun and funny. He was smart and inquisitive. He made my life better. I will miss his physical presence, but he will always remain in my heart. And I'm sending my love to Mary.

I have missed Mike tremendously. He was a dear friend and staunch supporter. Mike provided support and advice when I was creating the project management program at the University of Maryland. He was the drive behind creating and launching the Global Accreditation Center. We traveled the globe from Australia to Brazil to China the UK and many countries in Europe promoting accreditation. We shared many fine wines and exceptional meals together which resulted in solving problems or deciding on a strategy or tactic to further accreditation. Mike's contribution was extraordinary and he is missed. My love to Mary and the family. John

I was deeply saddened to learn of Mike's passing. I met Mike in early 1973 when we both at graduate school in Architecture at OU. Mike was one of only two architects that I developed a life time relationship with while at OU. He was a brilliant human being always deep in thought which generated wonderful ideas. I remember when he explained to me how we could travel faster and easier by car if everyone drove the same speed all the time. He had it all worked out and it made logical sense. Mike and I were vey close during graduate school and he was always willing to review my design projects and help improve them. We went most of the Home OU football games together and I would hang out at his house until the traffic settled down. Mike was a warm and caring friend that will be missed greatly. The last time I spent time with Mike was when he and Mary dove from Oklahoma to attend my wedding. I was so pleased to see him and to catch up on all the things that we had missed being apart over the years. I will always have wonderful memories of our time together and his friendship.

Sorry for Mike's passing, but as one of his PMI colleagues, let me stress that he was a professional of the highest order. He offered reassurance and comfort, support and guidance, and a ready laugh. He is missed.

The photo of Mike takes me back to the years at OU. I met Mike in the fall of 1990 and worked with him in the Research Center for Professional and Higher Education until 1996. He had a big impact on my career. It hurts to know he is gone.

I too am very late writing a tribute.
I write on behalf of the Idlewild neighbors who came to know Mike as a GREAT neighbor in the early 2000s when he and Mary bought their small shaded house in our neighborhood (and totally redid the place!). Our kids were Maggie & Darth's cat-sitters when they were all young.
Mike was ALWAYS trying to grow grass, which never took. He was a true "southern" gentleman; I will never forget his strong Okla. accent.

Mike was a bit out of place in PA, always talking about going home to Oklahoma. Since I grew up a Kansas Jayhawk, we also had that rivalry in common. I am so glad that he was able to enjoy his last few years at home. I was fortunate to visit Mike & Mary on Mike's home turf in Oklahoma: "Mike in his native habitat." I even got to see Shawnee and meet architect uncle Donald.

Rest in peace Mike. We will all miss you.

I wish it is not too late to leave my tribute to my good old friend Mike, because I was too shock to express my sadness when I first knew he was gone two weeks ago. I met Mike when I visited PMI HQs in 2000, and he gave me a lot of advice to establish PMI-Taiwan Chapter then, as well as to bridge our Chapter with PMI-Hong Kong and Beijing Tsuinghua University to form a close cooperation among the greater China Professional PM's NPO and academia in 2003~2009. Mike flew over 10000 miles to Taiwan on behalf of PMI to attend our Chapter's Congress in Oct. 2006, and he was so nice to join 6 different seminars, meeting, and visits with our members, enterprises, and schools from Taipei (northern part of island), Taichung (central), to Kaohsiung (southern) in just one week for advocating Project Management, PMI, and PMP. In addition, we left our footprints together in Hong Kong (2 times), Anaheim, Philadelphia, Singapore, Denver, Toronto, Beijing (3 times), Bangkok, Madrid, Montreal, Santa Fe, and Atlanta when I was PMI REP AG working with Mike In 2003~2007. I am planning to retire and stay at my home in Bay Area California, and was thinking to contact all my old friends in US and Canada who haven't got in touch for couple years. Mike was always the first person who I thought about. Unfortunately, I have missed Mike forever. My deepest condolence to Mary and Price's family, and I believe all of our common friends will keep Mike in our memories in our rest of life. Miss you Mike, R.I.P.

We first met in high school as participants in a youth and government program, and then became pledge brothers in Beta Theta Pi in an extraordinary group of men. His lasting legacy and memory for me will be his kindness and gentleness of spirit, always with a sense of humor and a gift for making people feel a kinship no matter what the circumstance. I consider it a privilege to have known him and call him a brother.

My thoughts are for Mary and the Price family, my memories are about Mike. First, we were colleagues at PMI who soon became friends. Our travels to Home Depot, China, and places in between were always filled with a lot of laughs and getting the task at hand done. He loved to talk about his experiences at OU and what a fan he was of their teams. When WV entered the Big 12 - our friendship took a bit of a competitive turn, especially when our two school played each other. I know he's somewhere right now commenting on the design features of a place that is providing him peace. I am confident its a place we will all meet together again.

So sorry to all of you in the Price family. My son and I count our time remodeling his house, as one of our more unique experiences. Always was good to hear his perspective on things. I know the past few years were not easy for him, but he seemed to take it in stride. He is missed.

Mike hired me at PMI. He was the best boss anyone could ask for. he was so down to earth and easy going. We were small then and like Family. He was a wonderful person and will truly be missed. I am so sorry Mary. Remember all the memories you both had.  No one will replace Mike.

I've known Mike for 30+ years. He was one of my best friends and a peer. We worked on many projects while together at Graves Williams & Associates Architects in Norman. Firehouse Art Center expansion was one. He was a damn fine architect, graphic artist/designer, and sketcher/illustrator. He had a great sense of humor (sometimes adding little things in his drawings for a laugh), told great stories, could go on and on with explanations about almost anything, and loved good food and drink. We golfed together, had great conversations and discussions, and even designed and built a spec house in Norman together. We shared the love of music and movies (especially Local Hero). Of course, I got to know Linda and his boys, and after my marriage and years later, Mary too. We visited Mike & Mary staying at the Bunker several times, most recently May 2016. He was an amazing person, achieving much in his life. He was adventurous, gracious, encouraging, curious and intelligent, professional, and certainly courageous.
He fought the good fight. I will miss him greatly. Rest peacefully Mike.
Peace be with his children and family, extended family, and with Mary.

I'm so saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I still remember fondly our time together on the AIA CES Audit Review committee when that program was in its infancy and his major contribution to a system that has become a cornerstone component of the institute and profession. I still get a smile on my face when I remember circumnavigating Lake Tahoe in a rental car when our committee chair gave us an afternoon off. What a great way to get to know someone!

It is with a heavy heart to learn about Mike's passing. I had the pleasure to work with Mike while he was at PMI. A dear friend. A great guy. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing a special person, but if caring thoughts can help, they are with you now.

I had the opportunity to know Mike in high school at Shawnee. He was one of the smartest kids in our class. We took chemistry, physics, and biology together. Competing with him for top grades was always tough. I had the chance to see Mike at our 50 year class reunion last year and catch up on things over the last few decades. Mike will be missed.

All I can do is cry. Mike and I were pledge brothers in Beta Theta Pi at OU in 1965 and Jane and I stood up for Mike&Mary when they were married in Taos,NM several years ago. Mike was always a brilliant and funny guy and a great friend. Mary- I can't believe this! We just visited you guys in Norman not long ago. Please let us be there for you in any way.
I never wanted this news to come. We loved Mike so. In college he was a true friend, so brilliant, so funny, so kind. We were very honored to be asked to be the only witnesses for the lovely wedding between Mike and Mary. I remember skiing at Taos Ski Valley together. His stories of China. The amazing simplicity and beauty of the home he and Mary built in Norman. He was so brilliant. I can't express my sorrow, it's so profound. We have lost a giant...a lovely man.

I knew Mike only in the last few months of his life. I think we found each other on Facebook because of our politics and love for baseball. I feel I just lost a close friend even though our friendship was just starting. I know one thing. I will not ever forget him. I wish peace for him and his family.

Mike came to rent my apartment for 3 months and stayed for 1.5 years while wrapping up his business in Pa. I will always remember his cheerful face buzzing in in his TT. He always stopped in for a glass of wine and to tell interesting stories.Soon my dogs and cat started visiting him. When I was having trouble adopting my second dog he literally insisted I not give up saying ,"You have to get the dog with baleful look !" I am grateful for that. He was a very considerate tenant and gentleman but kind of wrecked me for all tenants to come since...

I will never forget Mike, his creative thinking, and enthusiastic smile. We worked all over the world together, literally, to build the Global Accreditation Center for Project management(GAC). His vision and passion are responsible for creating and initially launching the GAC. Mike was a special person. / John

I first met Mike when he was leading SeminarsWorld with the PMI in 2000. Following that he was responsible for the REP MAG and my wife Manon was on the committee. So over more than 15 years, I learned to appreciate Mike's humbleness and respect for others. In today's world of divisive ideas, Mike was an example of inclusiveness and tolerance. Farewell Mike, we will miss you.

I am overwhelmed with sadness. I am so sorry he is gone. He was a kind and smart man who helped PMI become the great organization that it is today, and made many, many, friends along the way. Mike helped me in so many ways - his example of patience and kindness, his vision for continuing education, and his integrity.

I am so saddened to hear of Mike's passing yet grateful that I had the opportunity to have known him. I can't help but think of the saying
"Some people come into our lives stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same”. His kindness, passion and great humor will live on through his family and loved ones.

Mike offered so much of himself to his friends and his profession. As a kindred spirit he will be deeply missed.

Mike and I were pledge brothers at Beta Theta Pi fraternity 50 years ago. I remember all the fun we had when I and Mike and pledge brothers Don McCarty and Bill roy McAlister lived in Whitehand Hall. What a good guy. Very sad.  This makes me cry.

I met Mike 50 years ago this September and I last saw him a few years later, but he remains one of the more memorable of my Beta brothers. His humor, vocabulary, and gentle spirit come to mind, but the most unusual memory is his effort to convert the 3rd floor suite at 800 Chatauqua into a sound studio by attaching egg cartons to the walls and maybe even the ceiling. He sat in the middle of the studio with his head encased in enormous earphones, seeking the sweet sound of the late 60s.

As a recipient of a heart and liver transplant In February, I wish we had reconnected in recent years. As he did 50 years ago, he would have used his own life experience to show the way for others. I know I would have enjoyed the opportunity. I am confident he was a shining light for his family.

Jim Sharrock

Our heartfelt condolences to Mary and all of Mike's family. Mike was the best manager anyone could hope for, a wonderful role model and mentor, and most importantly a good friend. I will always treasure the sagely advice he gave to me on both a personal and professional level. When we were tasked by PMI to launch such programs as the Global Accreditation Center, Mike was the visionary and I was his mechanic, and some of the most enjoyable and productive years of my career were spent working alongside him. He truly will be missed.

Joe and Roseann Zerby

I knew Brother Mike as a kind and thoughtful gentleman with a whimsical sense of humor and an extraordinarily creative mind. Many funny and fond memories overcome my grief.
