Not sure what to say?

Uncle Mike, I know I haven't met you in my entire life, but you knew I was coming into this world. My my wonderful parents, Greg Schneider (Mike's Nephew) and Doreet Jehassi told you that they are going to have their first baby on the way. Here I am today, 16 years later. I've always wondered who you were. After hearing about you from my grandmother, Tedra Schneider (Mike's sister), you were a really nice person to everyone. You were a prolific writer. You especially wrote for newspapers...

I remember Michael from our days in Inwood N.Y.. We went to P.S. 98 and hung out in the same group. Our parents were best friends. We often went on vacations together. Mike was a great guy. Evan Barnett (son of Mae and Joe)

Phenomenal writer, great Role Model growing up in Sullivan County.

good news!we can all develop the quality that can make us happy,successful

I still keep a piece that Mike wrote while he still had his column in The Record about parenting. I read it every now and again, and his words bring me comfort. Thank you Mike for changing our lives, even if it was only in a small way. Your passing is at a loss to all of us.

Though it has been a year since Mike's passing, I still find it hard to believe that he is not here physically "getting" people to stop and think! A great loss to mankind! I am thrilled that I can come to this site and still read and reflect on his wisdom and smile at his wonderful sense of humor!!
My best wishes and hugs to Ellen and all of the kids! It feels like forever since I've seen you! But you are still in my thoughts, prayers and wish for you ONLY the best.

Mike, always had a smile. Ever a brilliant mind. I remember when Ben was born. I remember being at your home to watch Ben while his mom nervously attempted to make her first Passover meal. I was a young tweenager at the time so my memories are sketchy. However, I do remember feeling almost useless most of the time because Mike was just so proud of his first born boy that i only saw Ben maybe twice the whole day. I didn't mind. It was fun watching all the activity. So much food! I thought...
