Michael volunteered for several years at the New Canaan Red Cross. He was a loving, kind and generous man and I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My love to his friends and family.

Thoughts go out to all the Dupont Family. I lived next to Mike in Griswold house. Such a nice guy with a sly sense of humor. Though he had a talking alarm clock that woke me up but he snoozed through. " Michael, it's 7 o clock, time to get up". ZZzzzzz . Peace

My condolences to all who loved him. While we were not very close at Lawrenceville, I remember him as one of the nicest guys to this homesick foreign student. I kept hoping he would visit Ithaca again so we could reconnect.

So many fond memories of Michael from Lawrenceville, he was one of the gang. One that always makes me smile is he was the very first person on campus to obtain an HP handheld calculator. It was at the time an incredible piece of technology! We all felt for sure it was Michael´s ticket to Harvard because now he wouldn´t have to work anymore! I will miss him
