Michael Bellamy Plog

I had the pleasure of playing Backgammon with Michael on several occasions and I ALWAYS enjoyed my matches with him. He was very kind, curious, and a very gracious backgammon player. He taught me about the word *peripeteia* ...fittingly enough shortly after that I went through a divorce. Now we all divorce the human aspect of Michael. He was always a pleasure to be around. I welcomed his presence. He WILL be missed. But his legacy will always be with me.

Peace be with you.

Martha, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Michael was such a kind spirit. He often sought our family out to chat after services, and we always felt at home talking with him. Annie and Henry cried when they heard. We will all hold Martha and her family in our hearts during this time.

One of the most warm and friendly people I've known. RIP

One of the kindest people I've ever had the privilege to know. He also had a huge capacity for volunteerism, and it made you want to do more. Love to Martha.

Michael was an outstanding human being. He will be sorely missed.

Michael will be dearly missed by so many.We served together on some committees at ALUUC, and he was always a kind and steady presence. He never failed to amaze with his ‘Auctionere voice’ at our fundraisers.
I will think often of Michael with his sweet smile and gentleness, and hold Martha and family in my heart during this difficult period of grief

Michael was a wonderful magician and a founding member of The International Brotherhood Of Magicians Ring 239 in Springfield. He was also a past president of the organization. Magic lost a great freind. Rest in peace Michael. Condeolences to Martha and his wonderful family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I worked with Mike at ISBE on a few of his programs he was a very good magician too. He will most definitely be missed.

I hired Mike at the State Board...one of the best decisions I ever made. He was a serious worker and a good friend.

Rest In Peace my friend.

So sorry to hear of Michael's passing. He was a devoted mentor when I organized the Rotary literacy tutors at Ridgely.

Heartfelt sympathy, caring thoughts, prayers. Wishing the family: a song in your hearts; sunshine after the clouds; a rainbow after the rain; cherished memories; peace.
