Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to learn of Michael's passing and I send my love to the family. Becky, I still think of you so often and am so sorry for your loss.

To the Tannenbaum Family, please accept my deepest sympathy on Mike's passing. I, too, worked with him in West Linn/Wilsonville School District, and then at times connected with him in Portland community agencies. The world really does feel like there is an empty spot when we lose such a precious person who dedicated his life to supporting good people and good causes. We were most fortunate to know Mike.

I´m just stunned and so saddened. I just heard that Mike passed in May. Having worked in the West Linn Wilsonville School District for 23 years I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Mike on various committees over the years. And then, when we, too wanted to research moving to Tucson, Mike and Leah were kind enough to meet with us. We got to have dinner with them and visit a time or two in Tucson. We had plans to get together again, but as often happens, Life got in the way. ...

My darling cousin and best friend, Leah-I only knew had the privilege of spending time with you and your loving husband in two short visits, in Oregon and Tucson. I was so impressed by the strong bond and unshakable devotion the two of you had for each other. Two of the luckiest, and most deserving people I have ever known. Michael will be missed by people he knew even for a sort time. In the short time I was able to spend with him, he became a person I admired and adored. A truly great...

Mike was a wonderful bright light - generous, compassionate and loving soul. I was fortunate to have been a colleague and a friend - his kind heart touched so many people, including animals and nature - my life was and is still better because of his love.

We are so so saddened by the loss of Mike, and send you our deepest condolences. Mike is, was, and always will be an amazing human, full of all the good stuff...Love, Compassion, Intelligence, Humor, Adventurous Spirit, and such a deep gift of Kindness. He has been a gift to all who have been lucky enough to know him, and will be forever a shiny star in our hearts! -Tascha Gamroth & Family

I was so saddened and shocked to learn of Mike´s passing. I was looking forward to our summer breakfasts where we shared a bit of truth and life together. He was wonderful man. He was a true and compassionate friend. I will always feel his loss. I´ll hold time and space in my heart always. Prayers to his beautiful family. All my love for you all. Cheryl Wilson
