Class of 75
Misses you comrade in arms
pursuing Justice.

Michael was an authentic revolutionary, of sorts. He led our conspiracy to expose the abuses and inhumanity of the Northampton State Hospital. Memories of our radical "conspirational" meetings remain smilingly in my head. My wife and I went on to share a house in Sunderland, MA with Michael and his brother, Nylan.

Mike was always a beacon of moral light at Antioch Law School in our class of '75. And, he went on to lead a life of service to his fellow vets.
I admired him and will miss him.

Although many years have past since we came together as the founding members of the Antioch School of Law, I have to this day fond memories of Mike. He impressed me as being a strategist and a thinker, always focusing on the next steps, as evidenced by his many achievements.

Oh the days of high ideals at Antioch Law School. We had plans to save the world and struggled how best to do that. Mike's mark is the good he did in life and the seeds he planted that influenced other to do good. Farewell. Shirley Bergert ASL '75 with Mike

You were a valued member of the founding class of Antioch School of Law and went on to do many fine things. Your passing is a big loss.

You were always true to the ideals we held so long ago at Antioch law school. That is a great achievement. Sleep well now, my old classmate.

Many years past we were neighbors on Bare Hill Rd. Mike delivered the paper and his brothers and sisters were known to us all. I am deeply sorry for your loss and appreciate his service to our country, as well as his service to veterans.

You will truly be missed my long time friend.
