Dear Michael, I will always remember your great spiritual soul, your contribution to and love for humanity, your respect, acceptance, warmth, wisdom and tolerance, your cheerfulness and humour, and of course our moments of peace and lightness in yoga and meditation. May you continue to find peace along your path.

Michael chaired a weekend meeting of our Global Change Foundation some years back. He then backed the project of some of our members to create the Hub Project - Honour Underpins Business. A profoundly able and deeply spiritual man, he touched many lives, and many will be saddened at his passing. No doubt he is pooring his great enthusiasm into the next world...

Michael's passing comes as a shock. Valerie and Jared, my heartfelt condolences. A towering figure indeed. Some of Michael's highly quotable statements still ring in my ears, e.g. "If you are overwhelmed, you are not focusing on your number one priority."

Only just heard - Michael it's years since I saw you, when I was engaged with the Hunger Project; but your big presence, relaxed alertness, big smile and gentle voice are vivid still in me. Go well, as ever...

In celebration of Michael -- a grand being -- a great visionary with the genius and the will to manifest his dreams (remember the 0.1%) and the heart to express his love freely. Bon voyage!
