Michael Plotkin Obituary

Plotkin Plotkin, Michael Alan was born on February 27, 1944 in Bronx, NY. He attended Jamaica High School where he was a star athlete. He enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1960 and served honorably for four years. He met his future wife, Karen, on a blind date in December of 1975. After a whirlwind courtship, they were married in May 1976. Michael passed away suddenly on Sunday, November 25, 2007. He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Karen; his daughter, Jessica and his sons, Michael Jr. and Matthew. He is also survived by his brother, Kenneth; his wife, Harriet and their daughter, Randi of Seattle, WA and her children, Currin and Michaela. Michael was a loving husband, a dedicated father and a loyal friend who never hesitated to open his heart or his home to anyone. Michael was always looking to make a joke, play a round of golf or most importantly, spend time with his family. He left a smile and warm impression on all those he met. A memorial service will be held at Beth Israel Memorial Chapel at 11115 Jog Road in Boynton Beach on Wednesday, November 28 between 6-8pm. In lieu of flowers, the family is accepting donations for the American Heart Association and the Palm Beach County Food Bank.

To the Plotkin Family,

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael's wife Karen when she and my daughter Tamara Prendergast worked together. My family and I will keep your family in our prayers. Even though I never met Michael, I felt that I knew him through the stories that my daughter would tell me about the family.

To the Plotkin Family. It is with a heavy heart that I write this. I did not know Michael personally but I do know his lovely wife Karen. Karens grace and warm loving friendship she bestows on all that she knows and her love of family has always been an inspiration to me, as her friend. I believe that she is this person because of the family that Michael and she raised and shared with the rest of us. Her life is a reflection of Michael and I am sure that Michael's life was a reflection of Karen. How amazing and wonderful to be part of such greatness as love, caring and family. I send to each of you all my love. May God Bless all of you and may you find comfort in knowing that you are loved and being prayed for. Let the love of friends and family carry you through this very sad time in your life. My prayer are with you.

To the entire Plotkin Family: I knew Michael, Kenny, Perry and Millie from the late 1950's from a bungalow colony in Monroe, NY...Orchard Lake Lodge. We had great, fun times there. Michael and I were good friends (I secretly had a crush on him), and hung out together. He was a doll. I fondly remember taking a ride in his beloved T-Bird in the early '60s. My sister and I also attended Jamaica H.S. I recently moved to S. Florida, and have been trying to find "old friends", one whom was Michael. My sister and I just mentioned his name this past Friday! I even tried to find Perry, Millie and Kenny, but had no luck. Today, Tuesday, 11/27, I just happened to be looking at the Sun-Sentinel and saw the Obituary. I prayed that it was not the Michael I knew. I immediately called my sister, Janice who also knew Michael. We are both shocked and saddened by your sudden loss and send our deepest sympathy to the family. I wish I had found him sooner.
