Michael P. Haseltine

Mrs. Haseltine and family,

Please accept our condolences in the loss of your loved one, Michael. I didn't know him very well, but spoke with him frequently by phone and met with him once at EITAS when trying to obtain services my daughter Katie. I instantly liked Michael. He exuberated kindness and compassion and an obvious passion for his work in helping others. I could immediately tell that he was just the right person to advocate for our daughter which he absolutely met my...

Heidi and family, I am truly thankful that I had the opportunity to meet and work with Michael. His gifts of empathy and compassion were a palpable energy that I was aware of whether talking with him by phone or in person. He was extremely kind, perceptive, and cared about not only what he did but also who others were beneath the surface.
I know he loved his family very much and expressed to me both pride and happiness to be blessed by all of you.
I continue to think of you and...

Heidi and family, it has been a real pleasure working with Michael over the past 5 years. Being from the Regional Office, I saw the passion and care he held for persons with developmental disabilities. The respect he had for the developmentally disabled also showed in his interaction with the staff at EITAS and his energy and care was carried in all phases of his jobs.
He had a dedication that was un-measurable and irreplaceable. I send my prayers and thoughts to you, your family and...

Heidi and family,my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know we are going through difficult times in our own way with Michael’s passing.

Heidi, Please accept my condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Heidi, my sympathies on your loss. I worked with your husband several years ago to put together an aging conference and enjoyed working with him very much. He really liked his work and he was so kind. My prayers are with you and your family.

It has been an honor and a pleasure working with Michael over the past 5 years. He was a true advocate for people with developmental disabilities and his presence will be missed deeply. For me, I will remember his patience and kindness. He had a way with people that always left you feeling inspired....something all of us could learn from.

To his family, I will be thinking of you and praying for you as you begin to learn how to live through this very difficult time. He often...
