One of the nicest guys to walk this Earth. He was friendly, kind-hearted and as genuine as they come. I´ll remember talking markets, boating and family - all passions in Mike´s life. My sincere condolences to Mary and their kids.

Michael was just the best human being. Always endlessly generous with his time, always helpful with no expectation for anything in return. The world is a sadder place without his presence and I will miss him.
