To Mike's family . . I was deeply saddened to hear from my cousin, Dave Adelstein, that Mike had passed away. We go back many years associated thru Dave and the closeout business. We had many dinners together in Vegas while attending ASD. I loved spending time together and will miss Mike so much. Sending my condolences to the family . . .

Dear Risa and family, we are so sorry about Michael.
Our hearts go out to you and your family.
What a fantastic guy who always lit up a room and always would bring a smile to our faces.
To know him was to love him. We were very close and he was my Best Man at my wedding. Diane and I loved him and I always would enjoy our phone discussions after a Cub game.
We will truly miss him and will always think of him. What a beautiful service and a special tribute today for Michael.
May he rest in peace.
Love always, Diane and Richard

The "Roomer" as he was formidably known as, was a larger the life character. His candor, joke telling and kibitz will forever be missed. My sincere condolences to all family members. RIP my friend.
