A great man has walked the line

This is sad sad news indeed. Many will know that Michael was very unwell for some time and one did hope that with time he would return to us and once again give us the joy and benefit of his unique expertise. He gave of his time and vast knowledge freely and with good grace, a truly generous quality which I had the good fortune to personally experience a number of times. I will miss him.
My Regards to All,
Norman.

in principle on the 6th August 11:00 o’clock, Michl’s urn will be buried in his Abensberg family grave.
Peace to his soul.

So very sorry to hear of Michael's passing.

Irreplaceable.

Yesterday, as I knew Michael would be formally placed in his final resting place, I thought of and remembered him, and all the many talks we had.
He loved this forum, and was so proud of being part of it.

As I reminisced, I had beside me his book, published in 2005, which he sent to me several years ago, inscribed to me.

It was as if we were talking again.

Actually he will always be here in the monumental corpus of material and knowledge he shared with us.

Vaya con Dios my friend
