Remembrances
I loved Michael like a brother. We grew up together from age five years. We played games together; he taught me how to play basketball in the driveway. He helped me to get a college scholarship. I will always love him…
-Bryan A. Williams
Michael was always a blast to be with. I had the pleasure of playing one of his last 'emergency nines' at The Bridge in the dark. We will miss him…
-Jeff
…Michael was a warm and spirited person, and I am honored to have known him.
-Michael Cantor
…It can be said that a man should not be judged by the life he lived, but instead by the people who loved him. Michael was so obviously loved by so many people, that his spirit will always be felt…
-Ellen Turner
…Michael will always represent the way a family should be. He was so loving, caring, and exuberant. He would do anything in his power for you. He could make anyone feel special and at ease. He was very attentive when talking to you. When he was in a room, you knew it. His personality lit up a room. There was scarcely an encounter where Michael did not leave me laughing at some point…I know that my life was enriched by having Michael as a cousin.
-Rhonda Turner
…Although we only met Mike once at a dinner, we could tell he was a fun, loving husband and father who could only bring out the best in people…
-Jeff and Chris Kania
…Mike's spirit for life made a large impact in my life…I feel so privileged to have known him and just so lucky to be able to have learned from him…His legacy will be for us to carry on with the same spirit of life he had.
