It took more than a decade, but I finally watched and finished all of Big Bang Theory. It was hilarious, and I enjoyed it just like you said I would. I now have the role you had at CLCV/EnviroVoters back when we first met, and I think of you often. Crazy how time flies and things change. I hope you are at peace, my friend.

I can't believe Michael has been gone five years. It seems like a lifetime and just yesterday simultaneously. I hope if there is some version of life ever after you are at peace. CU.

I knew Mike many years ago. I am so pleased to know what a rich life he led and what a fulfilling marriage he had. I know his loss is so significant in so many ways to so many people. My heart goes out to all his family and friends. He is someone to be missed; you have my sincere condolences. I hope there are hoops in heaven...

Michael was my cousin and we had lost touch for so many years, but recently connected just a few weeks before his death. His first words to me were..Well you found me! And now I've lost him again before we really had a chance to catch up! From all the comments I see that he was an extraordinary man, full of life and love, friends, and family. His work in conservation mirrors my own love of the earth and I only wish I had found him sooner! Rest in peace, my dear cousin!

Michael--your boisterous laugh, your unwavering principle, your willingness to talk and listen, your dedication to your lovely bride. I'll miss it all, I'll grieve, as you would if it were me on the other side.

Michael was an incredible man, and he will truly be missed. Atavistic. That's for him because he taught me what it meant and forced me to find a way to use it enough so that I'd remember it. I would never use that word to describe him though, in fact it's practically the last adjective I would ever use to describe him, but it's so rare to meet someone who loved building his vocabulary and educating people. It made Michael one of a kind. Usually songs remind you of people, but in this case it's a word.

Thanks for making the world a better place for ever having you in it, Michael.

Michael was a dear, fierce, wonderful co-worker and friend. His generosity and commitment to helping others was larger than life. I had the gift of sharing the world of judaism with Michael and in turn was blessed to have him sing spectacularly beautifully as part of the shabbat service at our wedding two years ago. Such a mitzvah. I will always remember him with love.

I will miss this man. What a great mentor for so many. So funny and so kind and wise. The service was perfect, it was great to say goodbye to Michael with so many people whose lives he touched so deeply.

I loved the bigness of Michael. Not only his physique but his spirit, his mind, his presence, his laugh. Everything i remember about him has an imposing quality to it. He did a lot of good during his time on this planet and I am grateful to have known him and worked with him. He helped found the Williams Creek Watershed Council and gave the first home to the then fledgling Klamath Siskiyou Wildlands Center, now a thriving and powerful environmental advocacy group. I will remember Michael's generosity, passion and roaring sense of humor. Sending love and support to you Jeanine…so sorry for your loss.

I was touched at the tales of those you'd helped over the years, Michael. I wish I'd known ...

If anything was broken in Heaven when Michael got there, it's fixed now. Happy trails on the other side my friend.

I still can't believe Michael has passed from this world. He is/was a committed activist who always put his elbows into what he believed. Michael commitment and inspiration made huge environmental efforts possible.

Never forgotten!
