I was saddened to learn of Michael's passing. He and I worked together at the NYC Bar Association when I was in graduate school. He was always generous with his time, talkative and supportive, and I admired him a great deal. When I thought I wanted to become a lawyer, he sat me down and spoke candidly about the law and the life of a lawyer. He even wrote a letter of recommendation for me, something I have never forgotten. One memory that stands out is how whenever we had to give presentations at law firms and corporate legal departments, Michael would never order a car for us, even though it was available to him through the Bar Association. Instead, we would take the train together-rain, snow, heat or cold. As I reflect on that now, it shows me not only his humility but also his deep commitment to experiencing life on the same level as the people around him. That simple choice spoke volumes about his character and the way he led by example. Michael´s kindness, wisdom, and humanity left a lasting impression on me, and I am grateful to have known and learned from him. Rest easy, Michael.
