Mary, my deepest condolences cannot convey my sense of loss. Mike was my most significant mentor in the tax law. He encouraged intellectual rigor, practical insight, thoroughness and integrity. Mike's wonderful sense of humor, his engaging smile and twinkling eyes always made him accessible. When I worked with Mike 30 years ago, I was impressed by his deep concern for others, especially the oppressed Ukrainian people. His paintings show his appreciation for detail in life and creation, in both nature and architecture. Mike was a man to emulate. I was so grateful to know him.
