I was very lucky to have Mr. Michaels as a teacher in High School. I was even more lucky to have the chance to get to know him as an adult. He was a delight to talk to. He told wonderful stories of all of the places he'd been, the people he'd met, and he still remembered where I sat in his class 35 years ago. The hole he'll leave in this world is immense, and I'm all the better for knowing him. My condolences to his children and grand children for your great loss.
