MICHAEL LEE SPIVAK

Michael was the best man I ever knew, he was so kind and understanding. I met Michael through the Creating Change conference we both worked so hard on. We laughed and enjoyed teasing each other, we even went on a 'what if' date that remains one of best nights of my life. Even though he never intended it he was instrumental in my healing processes as I recovered from abuse and assault, he knew & was so gentle without treating me like glass when I didn't need it.

To Michael's Family,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always remember how kind Michael was to everyone.
May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Spivak,
I had the pleasure of teaching Michael Trial Tactics at CWRU Law School. He was so very bright, kind to his classmates (and opponents), thoughtful, wryly funny, committed and hard-working. When I learned of his death, I was shocked and saddened. A bright light has left us; the world is lesser today. May you find peace in happy memories of good times together and the knowledge that your son was universally loved and admired.

Mike, I think back to our BBYO days together in Hammer and it always brings a smile to my face. You touched so many lives and I know that I'm grateful for that.

Dear Marlyn and Family,
I am very sorry to hear of your very sad news. With deepest sympathy and sincere condolences.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with your son at Kohls and just found out yesterday. It's a shock. He always had a smile on his face and I enjoyed working with him. I'll miss him making jokes in the breakroom.

To Mr. and Mrs. Spivak and Daniel,
Thank you for the gift that was Michael. When I knew Michael, he was just beginning to build for himself the legacy that he leaves behind now. There wasn't a day that he didn't try to make our world a better place. He truly tried to be the change in himself that he wanted to see in the world.
