I tried to find Michael for many years to thank him for saving my life. He believed in me at my worst. He is/was an angel in my life. I met him when he worked in Lyons,NY. Back then I struggled with alcoholism. I did not have a GED. He helped me move to Syracuse and start my life over. Today, I am sober for 46 years with a Masters Degree and many certifications. I work with individuals with substance abuse and trauma. I am not sure anyone will see this-but wanted to share. Thank you Michael for saving my life.

Michael was the best of the best. Although they say he wasn't t religious, he showed all the traits of a Godly man. His love was certainly surrounding his life in all that he did. He truly was a loving man. He left a wonderful mark in the world. I hope someone will be able to take over where Michael left off. What an awesome gentleman he was. So sorry for your loss, Gaie and family.

Michael was a wonderful man to work with at The Arc. His wry, sarcastic sense of humor was always a nice break in the day and his love for our individuals and music was Always apparent. My favorite conversations were talking about classic rock with him, he would email me lyrics to see if I could guess the song. I am so sorry for your family's loss, know that he is fondly remembered by so many of us!

I was very sad to hear of Michael's passing. I haven't seen him for several decades, but I still have fond memories of his endless patience when my young daughter, Lea, would call him and exchange "knock, knock" jokes. I also remember him swimming in our pool, bringing his head up slowly above the water, making the shape of eyeglasses with his hands, and saying, "which way Pear Harbor" with a Japanese accent.
