Condolence: I'm so so sorry to hear this news. There are no words. May you find comfort and peace.

Condolence: The sad news about Michael's sudden passing came as a shock. We had just reconnected a few months ago. I needed Michael's advice from colleague to colleague, and when I spoke to him it felt like no time had passed. He was the same Michael from way back, at Dresdner Securities. I could ask him a million questions and he would not get tired of me asking. Michael wasn't your ordinary colleague, Michael was someone you could trust, someone with profound insight and someone you wanted as your friend. I am so grateful for having known him and will always remember Michael with his contagious smile. My heartfelt condolences to you Randa and your children. May you find comfort in knowing that I'll be thinking of you. Aloha, Petra

Condolence: Randa, Natasha, Max and Christoph, We are deeply saddened to hear of Michael's passing. We can only imagine how you feel right now and want to let you know that you are all in our prayers. May God be with you during this difficult time. With deep sympathy, Kate, Tom Michael and Patrick Hiebert

Condolence: It is with great sadness that I write this message to the family members and friends of Michael. I got this news that Michael had passed away on Tuesday. I am still in a state of shock having spoken to him only a few days prior to getting this news. I have known Michael for over 15 years during which time he managed my portfolio with diligence and profound understanding of the financial market. When I was living in New York I met him at his office regularly and on moving tonLondon Michel will call me on the telephone to review and give suggestions on the actions I should take. I am going to mis his advise and the courteous welcome I got when I visited him at his office. He was indeed a gentleman. My heartfelt condolences to his wife, children, other family members. May your faith in God console you with the thought that his soul will rest in peace.

Condolence: totally saddened by Michael's sudden passing. My entire family including, Ally, Lauren & Samantha are thinking of you in this time and hope that the thoughts of others bring comfort to you and the children in this time. Fondly Scott

Condolence: We were so proud to have Michael become part of the Steward Partners family this year. I got to know him well over the last two years. The one word I've always used to describe Michael is GENTLEMAN. He was a true professional. We shared many meals, many laughs and a love of our Porsche's. He had a great smile that would light up those around him. I know I speak for everyone at Steward when I say we're heartbroken over the loss of our Partner. Our prayers go out out to his family in this terrible time.

Condolence: My most heartfelt condolences to Michael’s family. He was my friend, team mate and business partner for 25 years. Never had I met a man with such abundant passion, energy and drive. Seemingly insurmountable obstacles were simply another challenge for him. That’s why I gave him a toy bulldozer to adorn his desk. Every time I took 20 pounds off his shoulder’s load, he just burdened himself with another 30. May heaven have a great portfolio ready for Michael to manage.

Condolence: I am deeply saddened by Michaels passing at the prime of his life. Michelal was a valued member of our team at Dresdner. My sincere condolences to his family.
