I worked for Mike and his partner, Josh Kane, two of the nicest, most generous men in Hollywood. Mike was easy going, approachable, a terrific guy taken far, far too soon. May he rest in peace.

Michael was an extraordinary man: Kind, honorable, loyal, smart, thoughtful, and ever so patient. He was also great fun. Truly, one of a kind. My thoughts are with Renee and the girls.

Michael was such a lovely man. He was so kind to my father, Maurice Duke. I'm sorry that I was out of town and could not attend to tell the family how sorry I am for their loss. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Mike and I knew each other since Monlux Elementary School, Cub Scouts, and Little League. What a Great guy !!! Many years ago I was fortunate enough to travel with Mike to Acapulco, Tahiti, and Nice/Cannes. I was out of the Country and returned to this terrible news. Our thoughts go out to Renee and the girls.

Fondly remembering Mike for his warmth, smarts and devilish sense of humor. So many memories. But the one that sticks out was - many years ago when he, Renee and the girls came back east to New York. Mike and I were having drinks at the St. Regis when he looked at me and said, "James Bond has become a family man!" He couldn't have been happier and prouder of Renee and his daughters.

Renee has been one of my dearest friends for more then 30 years. I remember when she met Michael, falling in love, and marrying. She and Michael were one of the marriages where the love was so strong. They were a team, devoted to their marriage and their children. I remember when they first married, going to their home in the Hollywood Hills, Michael had prepared dinner. He was an excellent chef in addition to his success in the Industry. I always was amazed how devoted they were, and that their love for each other was everlasting. He will be very, very missed by all who knew him. My heart breaks for my friend Renee and her dear family. A very sad day.

Mike was my friend and offered guidance and mentorship at the beginning of my career. He was talented and smart and interested in communicating good ideas that would be of benefit to the audience and leave them better off going out then when they came in. I appreciate his influence and my time with him and will miss him.
