When my son needed his first pair of glasses, Michael helped him pick out frames and instantly became someone we would never forget. His snarky sense of humor and eye for fashion were a perfect match for my son, and from that day on we looked forward to seeing him. We were so sad to hear of his illness. He will be missed.

Michael will be greatly missed. He was always much more than a customer of mine - I considered him a friend.

My sympathy to his family,
