Michael was an extraordinary person, the heart and soul of our group at Kaiser Rancho Cordova Adult Medicine Department during my time there. He was a master storyteller, and always knew when to lighten the mood with a joke or when to give heartfelt support or sage advice. I miss him.

I am very sad to learn of the passing of a former colleague of mine at Kaiser Rancho Cordova. Michael was well-liked, a very competent therapist and a good man. My sincerest condolences to his wife and family. May he rest in peace.
