So many fond memories of Michael, I will always remember his generosity, since of humor, how he supported his friends and his huge heart. Michael loved to introduce people and for me it has been a great gift from him that will always stay with me. I know have some of my dearest friends from his introductions, he would laugh and say he made a Shidduch. Our thoughts are with the Hoffman family and please know Michael has made a great positive influence in my life. All our love, Mitch, Maureen, Maya and Rayna Orland
