Memories and Condolences

Where does one start - with all of the good memories of Michael . One that comes to mind when on tour looking at all our new listings - with Michaels 6'3" body crammed in the front seat of a small car - legs tucked under his chin. Our driver was an elder women was not a good driver - each too fast of a turn or hitting the breaks at the last minute Michael wooukd scream "my face! Don't hurt my pretty face!"- amidst many high pitched screams of terror. I was laughing so hard in the back seat that any fear of the bad driving went out the window. How I miss is snobbery and wicked sense of humor. Love u micheal!

I am sad to hear of your loss.
I met Mike when we all lived in Chadwick and knew him all through school and from the neighborhood. He was always decent and nice to us younger kids and fun to have around.
We actually were at a party recently and recalled his name and wondered how he was doing.

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Michael. He was so kind, patient and professional in assisting my mother in purchasing her home last summer. He had us both laughing on many occasions. Rest in peace Michael.

I went to HS with Michael. I moved into Parkway South at the end of my Junior year. He was one of the first to reach out to make me feel at home. I am grateful for what he did then and to have known him all these years. He was remarkable in his kindness. I will miss our interactions on FB and his kindness always.

Condolences to Michael's beautiful family that he loved so much and to all the friends that loved him so as we all grieve together for such a huge loss. He embodies the phrase "To know him is to love him." Michael was the ultimate upper-his infectious laugh, kisses and big hugs said everything about him. He had love for everyone and everything, a great sense of humor- Rest in Peace Dear Michael-so loved, so beautiful, so missed. Hugs and kisses to you in heaven.

Michael was such beautiful man, inside and out, and he will be so missed by his many, many friends in Michigan. He touched so many lives with his unfailing understanding, support and love. We can't all make it to St. Louis but are there in spirit, as he will remain with each of us forever.
