Not sure what to say?

Always loved being with Michael, such a great zest for life. Loved his smile, his great humor and his wonderful food creations, so effortlessly done. He was always ready for a happy hour and didn´t let you forget when it was time! What magic he would put together in the garden, and his welcoming touch that he would add to the magic of each holiday. He had that wonderful twinkle in his eyes that kept you guessing and wondering what he would say next. Love you Michael, you made our world a...

My first job in the entertainment industry was at Sid and Marty Krofft, as a Production Assistant, and Michael was a young executive. I was always struck by his innate kindness and integrity, and non show biz demeanor. He was a beautiful man, and always reminded me of Superman. Even though our paths didn´t cross again, I am so glad that he had a wonderful life, well lived. Bless you Michael. My heartfelt sympathy to his husband and family.

Dean, My sister Penny let me know of Michael's passing. Penny said that she remembers seeing him at the West Hollywood pool doing laps when she used to swim there. She said he always had a smile on his face. I hope that remembering all of the good times you had with Michael will help you through the long days ahead. His was a life well lived. I'm sure this was in great part due to your love for him and your life together. Stephanie
