I was so oddly shocked when I called Michael this time he did NOT return his call right away! Thank you so much for your past timely supports.

We are deeply saddened about Michael's passing, and we pray his family and friends find ultimate peace in his passing. Michael was an ideal brother-in-law who was always kind with my family. Will never forget how, several years ago, he was helping our daughter to learn how to ride a bicycle amongst other kind acts. Michael was "one on one" with her every step of the way. Thank you Michael. You are missed.

My sincerest condolences to the family. Michael worked with me on many startups and was awesome. As a person he was the finest, a giant and a great friend. He embodied every great attribute. We talked about skiing and family and he passed doing one of his favorite activities. He is surly in Gods hands now.

My condolences to the family. Terrible loss. I had the pleasure of working with Micheal on and off for several years.

Michael's passing is a sad loss for the...

I first met Michael in NYC after we had both graduated from college and then again when we were both in Atlanta. I saw him almost every day at the YMCA and he was always exercising like a 20 yr. old! Incredible gift for life! We will all miss him at the Y. I send my condolences to Nova and his family.

Michael and I interacted for over thirty years most recently at Atlanta Tech Village. His curiosity, humor, and genuine interest in everyone who was fortunate enough to have met and known him will be sorely missed. A genuine renaissance man. But, he went out with a flair doing one of the things he loved most!
