Michael Pertschuk

Anna I am learning about Michael´s death from the NYT. we met while staying at that cute little beach front hotel in Tortola. My husband Bob and I shared a sailboat with you. And then we visited once on Morningside drive I am living in Phoenix. Followed the dtr here and loving life tho not the politics. I wish you well. Bob died in 2019 I´m sure you´re surrounded by people who will support you through this big life change very good wishes

Dear Mark and family, I loved Mike. He made me want to make a difference in the world. I am so very sorry for your loss. Mike was more than a great man but a great human being who loved his fellow man enough to advocate for the health of others who were less fortunate than most of us. God bless you all with His peace. Mike is making policy changes in Heaven already, and we will all be better for his efforts there as we have all been here.

A great friend and law school pal We clerked together for Chief Judge Gus Solomon in the United States District Court of Oregon Our kids were little and our lives were cheerful Those were the day my friend.......we thought they'd never end!!!!!!

I was so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. What a wonderful person and great inspirational leader. We will all miss him. I worked for Mike at the Federal Trade Commission. When I served as a regional director, Mike spent several days at our office. He thereafter wrote an inspirational article about us which I proudly saved. The article provided long term motivation to a great staff. While Mike's days on earth have ended, his many outstanding contributions for the betterment of all of us live...

My condolences to the Pertschuk family. Thanks to Ross Hammond for passing the news on via LinkedIn. His phrasing - noting Mike´s joy, strategy, and persistence - resonates well. Mike´s legacy will be seen in generations of effective leaders in advocacy for positive change, especially around public health, above and beyond the incredibly significant laws and policies that he personally helped to make happen. I´m grateful for the brief chance I had to work with Mike and without a doubt, it...

Deeply saddened to hear about Mike´s departure. Personally I have lost a great mentor, and consumers across the world a unique leader! Mike was exemplary in living out shared leadership and investing in people. He trusted the power of ordinary folks to organise and effect change, so he invested in building people and people´s movements. This was exemplified in the pivotal midwifery role he played in birthing India´s tobacco control coalition, Advocacy Forum for Tobacco Control in early...

Dear Anna (and the family), my deep sympathy.... I did remeber Mike many times, and regret we were not in contact during last years. He really influenced me (and thus my colleagues) in resistence to tobacco industry, to find right arguments. I also remember you both as nice and warm people. I hope you had succes with the pueblo research, and we are thankfull to our kacina Tsitoto who saves our house....My thoughts are with you. P.S. I tried to upload fotos of Tsitoto, but it did not work...
