Michael was truly a special person in this world that touched the lives of so many people in very different ways and left an indelible tattoo that will "not fade away".

Some of my fondest memories of working in ITS at Swarthmore College were working with Mike and, before his tenure there, his mother Hazel. Mike was a sweetheart and a great person to work with. I will truly miss him!
