I am so saddened by Michael's passing. I live across the road from where he last lived, he delivered my Peapod groceries to me a few times, and we chatted about this and that and I found out he was best friends with Sean who delivers groceries to me frequently. My sincere condolences, and prayers for strength go out to all.
