Michael, you were definitely one of the most special people in my life. You filled my life with laughter and smiles...you made sure my life was well-rounded for sure. You talked to me about music, art, tennis, politics, world news...there was nothing you couldn't talk about - and nothing you wouldn't debate! I looked back at your facebook page and saw that my last entry to you while you were here on earth was the words to "You Are My Sunshine"...and THAT you were! We shared laughs and sorrow, didn't we? I miss you terribly...but I know that I am a better person for having known you. Every time I think of you - I hear your laughter! Oh...that contagious laughter! Thank you for being a one of a kind, friend. Loveyoumeanit!

Michael what a brilliant, talented, and charismatic person you were. With your lightning-fast and sassy sense of humor colored with just the right amount of earthy bawdiness. Who could NOT be drawn to your side with that infectious laugh? You had a way of seeing the world that made people hear and see you. Whether it was playing cards, playing tennis, debating world politics, or just enjoying some newly discovered artistic endeavor. You loved, lived, and played with verve throughout your life. You represented in my eyes the quintessential modern-day "renaissance man" in the truest sense and you did it with great style and class. The world is definitely a little less bright now that you have departed from us beloved friend and brother. Be at peace.
