Mike was my dear friend for more than 30 years. He was a smart, humble, kind soul with a terrific sense of humour. I will treasure the memories of the many good times we had together. But I am utterly heartbroken. The world is an emptier place without Mike in it. He was such a special human being who I feel lucky to have had as a friend even if it was for too short a time. Aliza and I extend our deepest condolences to Sari, Desi, Kayla, Arielle and the entire Nurgitz family. You are in our thoughts during this unfathomably sad time.

I am at a loss for words to express my shock and sorrow upon learning, just now, of Mike's passing. Although I had only met Mike briefly, it did not take long to see he was such a nice person and wonderful Dad to Arielle.. My heartfelt condolences to you, Sari, and Elayne too, on your profound loss. May G-d find a lofty place in heaven for Mike and strength for all moving forward.

Richard and family, we cannot find adequate words to express our feelings to you about your sudden loss of Michael. What can one say when a son, father, brother and husband is gone in a flash. It seems so terribly unfair. Our wish is that your family will bear no more tragedies.
