Michael Klenfner

Michael lived across the street from me on Brighton 5th Street. His mom and mine were good friends. Michael was a very good one-wall handball player. Whenever I see The Blues Brothers movie I think fondly of him! He once gave me a shoutout when I called him as he was doing his radio show. Glad he was so successful!

As one of his physicians and, later, as his friend, I got to know Michael very well during the last year or two of his life. He was an amazing man with a virtually encyclopedic personal familiarity with every major classic rock band of the 60s and 70s. He had endless stories (and opinions) about every rock musician and personality you could think of at the Fillmore, WNEW-FM, and Saturday Night Live (not to mention the major recording companies he worked at). The last time I saw him we...

Thank you very much for the love! It means a lot to the 3 of us. My father was half man- half amazing. He will live in my heart forever.

Dear Carol, Kate and Bryn,

A few years ago, I was sitting on the stairs of my just sold home feeling a little blue, when along comes Michael on a Vespa. He stopped and within moments had me rolling in laughter: jokes, insights, patter and gossip. Off he roared and down the steps I skipped; both of us heading into the future.

May your grief be lightened by the thoughts and prayers of Michael's many friends

I'll always remember the Thanksgiving in Sausalito.

Dear Carole, Kate and Bryn,
Michael was a man who cared deeply about his family and loved you all dearly.
He will be missed.

Carol and Family,

My sincerest condolences to you all.
I have many memories of Michael, a man whose presence was as big as he was.

Mitchell Kanner

He was a real mensch in every sense of the word
