Marla,
Please accept my condolences. Your father was a wonderful, kind man. I remember when he was our religious school teacher. He was very, very patient with our class!

Dear Marla, Craig, and family,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I always appreciated Mike. He was such a nice man--a great listener, and so I always knew he must have been a great guidance counselor to the many students who passed through his door. He and Lola were my parents' oldest and dearest friends. I can imagine them now reunited--Lola, Mike, Roz, and Ferdy--what a foursome! My deepest condolences to all of you.

Dear Marla and Family,

It was with great sadness that we learned of your dad's passing yesterday. We offer our sincerest condolences to you all, we share your grief and will miss him. He was a modest and quiet mensch who always had a smile on his face.

Mike was WWII hero, a liberator of Dachau, and countless people owe their lives to him. His dedication to our faith and to Beth Hillel will remain unmatched.

Myron (Mike) was one of the finest human beings I have known. He was a dedicated counselor and a founding father for the Connecticut School Counseling Association. He remained active in the School Counseling Association as well as the Connecticut Counseling Association and for the last several years, treasurer of the Connecticut Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (CACES). Mike epitomized what a counselor should be. He was dedicated to the profession and showed great love for family and friends. I know that I, and every counselor in Connecticut, will miss him terribly.
Bob Schmidt, CACES President
