Not sure what to say?

Michael was a great builder and was a very driven man.

We lived too far away for cousins to have contact, but I remember Michael's visit to us in Montreal, probably in the early 1960s. Still, he is missed. Arthur Stampleman

On behalf of the Bay Area Jewish Federation, our condolences to the family on Michael's passing. He was a long-time and loyal supporter of the Federation's work and he was instrumental in helping our local community for many years. He will be missed!

I worked with Mike on a project in Phoenix when he was with Morse Diesel in 1972. And visited him in SF several times in years to fallow He really knew construction of projects.. To add to his impression cv he knew some great restaurants. James Ebert

I loved Michael and cherish our times together. Big hugs to you, Jean! [email protected]

Mike was the gold standard as a managing heir to a creative artists legacy. His custody and care of Ira Gershwin´s gifts gave them new life and enabled a new generation to appreciate what Ira brought to the world. Mike will be missed by all of us who work in the Creative cultural sector.

Please accept my condolences. Arthur Stampleman

On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music and its staff, we extend to Jean and family our profound condolences. As president of the KWF, it was a privilege to know and work with Mike for several decades in preserving and promoting the shared legacy of Ira and Kurt, in Lady in the Dark, Firebrand of Florence, and Where Do We Go from Here? His interests and expertise were broad and his common sense a gift to all his collaborators. May his memory be a blessing...

Mike you will be missed and hope that Jean and family stay strong and know Mike and Jean are loved and very sorry for his passing.
