I knew Michael a little bit. I've had the pleasure of emailing and talking to him on the phone over the last few years, I've got drunk with him, dropped him off for a couple of events, and he in turn looking at my early writing stuff and was always encouraging and willing to put some time away to look at what I'd done.
Michael wrote 4 books about his life as an actor, when we saw him at the cons his phrase was "Buy the Book". I'll miss hearing that as well as the sense of fun he brought anywhere he went.
Most of the most decent and honest guys has left us, and we're a little diminshed because of it. Michael, you'll be missed very, very much.
