Michael T. Wallender

Nary a day goes by that I do not think of Mike and it always includes a smile and wonderment at his wisdom and kindness, and which dominated; hard to tell. A truly great man and that was evident since our first meetingsimply a wonderful guy and a cherished friend.

I miss Mike very very much he was my best friend in college and was like a brother to me.

Michael was a fine man. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. My sympathies to his family.

Dear Family of Mike Wallender,

I am so sorry for your loss, which we share in. I came to the wake, but the line was so long that I could not stay. I am sorry we did not have the chance to meet.

I clerked with Mike about 36 years ago in the Appellate Division, he was responsible for my move back to Albany from NYC, and enjoyed when we had a chance to catch up every now and then. He was a fine lawyer and an even finer person. He will be missed.

Best wishes to all of you.

My deepest sympathy to Mike's family. I worked with him many years ago. A kind, caring and giving gentleman.

Kristina & Michael,

Your father was a true friend to me when I was in need. This sad news has touched my very soul. May his beautiful soul rest in peace.

Mike was a funny guy... in 10th grade he offered me a bet. I could chose any team to win the World Series game that day. He didn't care which one I chose, so I picked one and made the bet. Clever Mike then told me there was no game that day, the teams were traveling to another city. I had "lost" the bet but he didn't want to collect. (I'm still not a sports guy!) At our last reunion he took the time to speak with me one on one. We were not close but I appreciated his interest in what I had...

Your brilliant light and warm friendship will be sincerely and greatly missed.
