P. Schlosser Obituary
Family-Placed Death Notice
DR. P. MICHAEL SCHLOSSER There was nobody like Michael, nobody. He was a pioneer in human relations, especially in restoring love in marriages. He believed in LOVE. He lived in love with his wife, Cynthia, who painted every wall in their Lakewood home with scenes of heaven and who hung a dream-catcher ceiling in the living room where we all gathered for evenings of great talks about the human condition. Michael could handle any problem in communication. He could diffuse anger, even violence. We went to him to solve problems between us. We called him for wisdom. His was the rare gift of a brilliant quick mind and a deep feeling soul. Sometimes when he spoke you felt seen in a way no one else could see you. He loved Lakewood Heights for the trees and told the story of the seven layers of green to everyone who visited their magical garden. He fought for greenspace and beat the developers. "When we gather now there's always someone missing, his silence as loud as our speech. When we are all together, we're not all together. It is the neverness that is so painful" (Wolterstorff). Memorial gathering to be held on September 21st (Michael's birthday) at "Paris on Ponce" 694 Ponce De Leon Ave. NE, 404-249-9965, 7 to 10 PM. Please bring food and wine.

Michael Rose Young Schlosser. A really neat guy! He taught me how to throw a frisbee to the hounds and, oh yeah, he helped me heal my PTSD.
Cynthia dearest, you got a good one. Many more blessings to you.
with much love,

I met Michael at the lettuce display at the Emory Kroger in the fall of 1974. After I mentioned a lettuce boycott at my former college, Michael asked "where?" Upon discovering our common Duke alum status, we were close friends for abt 8 months. He lived in Midtown then, was working on his research in attraction, and was leading couples communication classes. I remember him as a warm, sincere, deep person. My sympathy to his wife on her loss.
