My sincere sympathy to Mike´s family & friends. He was a kind, thoughtful & intelligent news Editor who always did his best to give patients a voice in our healthcare community. I feel grateful to have known him in this role.

Please accept our deepest condolences. Mike had been scheduled to make a presentation on Harriet Dame at our 2023 annual conference. We will greatly miss his presence at that event; however, we truly appreciate his contributions to the historiography of women's service during the American Civil War.

Dear Monique, Sven, Yuri and Misha, I´m so sorry for your loss and offer heartfelt condolences to you and your extended family. I worked for Mike at the Concord Monitor from 1978 to 1981 - only three years, but enough for a lifetime´s worth of journalism lessons and fond memories. Like others who worked under his leadership, I received my share of editorial criticism, but what I remember most was his strong support for me as a young journalist and also his friendship (related, I think, to...

My heart goes out to you, Monique, Yuri, Misha and Sven. Mike played such an integral role in my career. An amazing editor and even better man. I remember one Monitor summer outing with a dunk tank. Mike didn´t hesitate to get on the seat and do a little trash talking as we tried (and succeeded) to dunk him. Just one of myriad lasting memories. Peace to you all.

Our deepest sympathies to Monique and family. We enjoyed Mike's years with the Concord Monitor.

Heartfelt sympathy to you Monique, your boys and the grands. It´s clear what a huge role Mike played in all of your lives. He was a wonderful and amazing man. It was my honor and pleasure to know both of you. He will leave a big void. You are all so blessed to have `bucket loads´ of wonderful, fun and interesting memories. RIP Mike.

So sorry for your loss Mike was a great person to work with at the Concord Monitor. I had the privilege of working with him in the 80s and early 90s. Your family will be in my prayers.

Sincere condolences to Monique and all of the family. I was sorry to hear of his passing and hold you in many thoughts. Judy Todd
