• I had the pleasure of working with Mikeee a few years back and he was one of the sweetest and nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Our business (and the world in general) needs more people like him.

  The world is a little less purple today.

• Terribly sad news he was a super nice guy who genuinely cared about other people. I met him long ago and thought he was great. His family should be proud of the work he did. He was dedicated and honest and those are rare qualities in a town of people who lack those traits.

• The world lost one of the good guys today. In an industry of cut-throats and egomaniacs, he was humble, genuine and always kind. Wishing him eternal peace in a purple heaven.

• Dear beloved Mikeeee,
  Thanks for all your hard work and the high level of respect you gave to all you came in contact with. I know your soul is at peace. I pray that we will get through this. It definitely will not be the same without you.

• A creative genius, but also a dear man, and humble soul. You will be missed not only by your industry and profession, but by your friends most of all. Purple will will never seem the same.

• MikE was one of a kind. My heart is sad and hurts. I remember his contagious smile and love for others. He will be missed on earth, but is now with hisFather in heaven. I know I’ll see him one day again.

• Im devasted that Mike was taken so soon from us. The sweetest, most considerate colleague I had the pleasure of knowing during our years together at New Line. He transported every co-worker’s office into their fantasy birthday space with surprise, passion and glee. A rare endangered species in our business. Bless your heart Mike, bless your family and loves ones. Sad day.

• Mikee’s passing is an incredibly sad and heartbreaking loss. He was a kind and lovely man that made life, work and every social occasion that we shared together a far better experience through the presence of his warm and playful spirit.

  I’m grateful to have known him and pray that his family and friends are comforted by their own great memories – and the sight of joyous purple – forever and always.

• Mikeeee was one of the few GENUINE people in this town. Shame that the new generation of up-and-coming executives have different priorities. Wishing him a wonderful journey.

• Dear MIKEEEEEEE,
  You were my partner in crime whenever you came back to visit the Jersey Shore. How will I attend our next High School Reunion without my dance partner? I will miss you soooooo much!!!
  You, me, and Donny Osmond and the color purple!!! I have know you since high school and I never met a more genuine person. I love you and will miss you. We always had the best and silliest of times.
  The World is a sadder place without you! My sympathies to your family at this very, very, very sad time.
  (I can’t believe Stan and I were just laughing and talking about you last night and then Tracy called…I am still in shock!)
  Love,
  Barbie

• We’re moved by what happens to our friends, to feel the joy in their successes, hurt when they feel pain and sadness when they leave us. Our friend Mikeeee had by any measure a life cut short. Yet a life in which he had become my friend and always made me feel like a member of his extended family. I’ll miss you Mikeeee. Your humor, creativity and wisdom shared will always be with me. If laughter is the best medicine, then Mikeeee dispensed more than anyone I know. Being genuine, kind, effervescent, honest and loyal came natural to him and made him the type of person you always wanted to be around. When you stopped by his office you could always get a sweet, a touch of purple and a warm smile.
  Mikeeee could always bring a smile to our faces and he would want us to always remember him this way. So when I say Mikeeee was my friend, I’ll always say it with a smile.

• Re-interpretation of one of Mikeee’s favorite films…
  “Someday I’ll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me…
  Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney top, where you’ll see…MIKEEE…”
