Michael Beier Obituary

BEIER-Michael P. The faculty, staff, and students of Columbia University Health Sciences mourn the loss of a dear friend, Michael P. Beier, who passed away from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on Friday, April 25. When he was diagnosed with ALS in 2000, he channeled his energies into fund-raising for research and awareness. He initiated the ``MDA Wings Over Wall Street'' gala that raised more than $1 million for ALS research at the Columbia University Department of Neurology. In recognition of his tireless efforts, Columbia University named the ``Michael Beier/MDA Wings Over Wall Street Research Fund'' in December 2002. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to his wife, Theresa, his children Carly, age 6, and Dustin, age 4, his parents, siblings, and friends. He was an extraordinary spirit and a generous man. Gerald D. Fischbach, M.D. Executive Vice President for Health & Biomedical Sciences Dean, Faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences, Columbia University

To Theresa, Carly, Dustin and Family,

I'm a staff member at NYC's MDA office who had the privilege of meeting Michael on a couple ocassions. I as well as my co-workers very much share in your sorrow."May time heal your sorrow, may friends ease your pain, may peace replace heartache, and may warmest memories remain." Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Family of Michael Beier:

With great sadness I send this letter of condolence upon hearing of Michael's passing (I was notified by Joe Coleman who was at the service). When i both worked and lived in the City, I would occasionally run into Mike. We would laugh and joke about no matter what corner you turned, you'd always run into a fellow "Massapequan". My prayers are with his wife, two children and the Beier family.

Sincerely, George Doobinin
