Dr. Robert Michael

He started as my professor and turned into a great friend. I took many courses he offered. Then I stood up at his wedding with Susan. I feel so sad to know that he is gone. As life happens, I lost touch with him and Susan. I regret that so very, very much. He was so passionate about history. I wish I could talk with him to find out how he feels about these challenging times. He was one in a million. My heart goes out to Susan and their beautiful 4 children. Such a wonderful family. ...

I'm very sorry to have just read about Professor Michael's passing. I enjoyed our chats about History, our laughs, and topics about the military. Thank you for all of your help and advice, including your endorsement for helping me get into Graduate school. God bless you always my friend and RIP.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

I miss you

I was honored to get to know Bob first as a professor and then as a friend. Although he lived and breathed the horrors of the holocaust in his classroom, outside of the class he was one of the most life-affirming and joyous people I've met. He will be missed.

I wish I had gotten the chance to meet Dr. Michael in person, but I was fortunate enough to speak with him.

When Bob read his works at The Meetup Novelist Group, Nashville, TN we were always enriched. His tender voice drew us into the story, as he revealed unique characters.

His tempo quickened. Bob's voice intensified - our interest peaked - we were transported to the Vietnam War.

I never will forget his unpublished story.

Gentle soul, safe journey.

We never got to know Bob as well as we would have liked, but we knew instantly how affable and bright he was. He was also very modest about his many accomplishments. What we noticed most was how happy Susan was when she was with him. We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts.
