John K Kelly wrote a sympathy message

“It is with such sadness I am learning of Michael's passing. I truly thougth so much of him and developed a nice friendship during and after many years of a professional relationship. Michael and I first met over 34 years ago when he was an expert witness in a case against our client. Shortly thereafter, I hired him! We developed a life long working relationship and I proudly say a friendship. We talked of his family and all the traveling he was doing. I truly admired him and will miss him. jk”
