Michael Schoenfeld Obituary

SCHOENFELD, MICHAEL (Age 62)

Administrative Law Judge/Enthusiast, of the District of Columbia, died while kayaking near Neabasco Creek on October 11, 2004. He was an ardent, skilled, and careful kayaker who loved the quiet intimacy with the water and the natural world. He died on a beautiful day doing something he loved. His home is filled with the work of artists and craftspeople that he and his wife collected during their 30 years together. As an ALJ for the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, his work took him to courtrooms from New Orleans to Maine. He is survived by his wife, Kathleen McMillan and his brother, Fred Schoenfeld of New Jersey. Friends and family are gathering in Washington, DC, New Jersey, and elsewhere to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent in Michael Schoenfeld's name for scholarships to the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, PO Box 518, Deer Isle, ME, 04627.

His Honor was my honor to meet. I was a court reporter in his court several times over the past couple of years, a couple of times in Maine and moreover in Boston. He was an excellent ALJ and I was saddened by his sudden death. He will be missed by myself and my colleagues when a case comes along. Best wishes to his wife and brother.

Martha Ellen and I met Michael and

Kathleen by chance at #16 in South

Kensington, London, a couple of years ago. He was such a nice guy.

Never realized we shared a love of the water, photography, and American arts and crafts.

I met Mike at camp when I was 12 and we became steadfast friends. He introduced me to skiing and was my best man at my wedding. I will always remember those fond memories. He was a great friend and a loving husband.

I worked for Mike for many years as a young staff attorney at the Review Commission. When I went into private practice and he was a judge there, I practiced before him. Mike was a great boss, a fair-minded and honest judge, and a swell fellow to know. I will miss him. I do miss him.

My sympathy is with your family. Judge Schoenfeld was a most kind man who always had something positive to share with others. He will be missed by his WW buddies on Friday mornings.
