Passions included, playing bridge, cruises, nature, art, politics, the stock market and medicine.  He was a retired real estate broker, in Oakland, CA.

He donated his body to science, the UCSD School of Medicine.

A beautiful family memorial was held, at the ocean in Encinitas, CA on September 17, 2010.  He was remembered as a renaissance man, a ‘scientist’, and for his quirky sense of humor.  His life and unique personality were celebrated, and a dozen butterflies were released.  A mass was held in his honor, on October 2, 2010.

His endless advice was usually accompanied by an, “it’s very important”.   So too, the life Michael led was, “very important”.
