Not sure what to say?

Mike was a man of boundless energy who left a legacy of accomplishments in Science and Medicine while enjoying the world of History, Art and Religion. I treasure memories of travel through Europe, tennis matches on the Georgetown courts and reunions in Sarasota and Lake Wales. My best wishes to Joan the their children. We were blessed to know him.

What a lovely tribute to your Dad/Grandfather. My thoughts are with all of you as you grieve but also celebrate his rich, full life!

Mike was a friend and mentor for many years as we worked on various dry eye projects. I greatly appreciated his help and guidance. I will miss him as will many others. My prayers and condolences go out to Joan and the family.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Joan and all the Lemp family. Michael was a lovely man. Karen O´Neal

It was an honour to have known you Michael. Rest in peace Mary Kennedy (Charlotte´s mummy)
