Michael Perlin

Okay Michael! I am still trying to get over you walking out on that famous last luncheon and you picked up the tab. I know that you are watching us and I hate to report that the organization of the Driver Program has gone from bad to worse. My daughter has taken over "Driver Awareness". She can put up with this. We are the only program left in Monroe County. I think of you whenever I talk about the good ol' bad days! It was my pleasure and privilege priviledge to work with you.

I heard the news today oh boy. I never would have made it threw the Master's program had it not been for the patients and kindness of this gifted man. I am so very saddened. He will always live on in my heart. Till we meet again.

Sending you birthday wishes-- thanks for the wonderful education. You helped to create so many awesome public health professionals.

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Dr. Perlins passing. Knowing him only from presentation he gave which I attended (and learned much from!) he always made time to chat afterwards. Subsequently, he became my "go-to" resouce when I needed a neutral yet expert eye on a matter. He is missed.

I would like to extend my condolences to Dr. Perlin's family. Michael was my faculty advisor and professor in the MPH program at SCSU. He had an open door policy to students that allowed for easy conversation and advising. He had a unique engaging manner in the classroom. I enjoyed an easy rapport with Michael, and his smile exhibited a warmth that was genuine and heartfelt. After graduating in 2008, I maintained sporatic contact with Michael, and he was generous in providing recommendations...

I was fortunate enough to work with Dr. Perlin through the Drinking Driver Program. He was a masterful resource and a wonderful clinician. An open, warm and generous individual; he will be missed greatly by friends, students and colleagues. God Bless.
