I received the same email from Becky Levy. Sonny notes Michael's spelling disfunction. Actually, Michael knew how to spell probably better than most of us. His problem was that of haste. He would fly through his posts with such speed that the typos would occur, and he admitted to never proofreading his stuff, so the typos came through in all their glory. I do much the same with typos, galore. Difference is that I proofread and catch nearly all of them visually before the send button is hit. In some off list emailing with Michael a few years ago, he revealed a great sense of humor and left me chuckling long after the email was read. He was a good guy and I missed his posts, too! RIP Michael. Roger I always enjoyed Michael's messages here for their content, both the intentional pictures and humor. I was never sure if the misspellings were intentional or from the lack of a spell checker. Wondered what had happened when we didn't see his posts anymore here. Figured it was health. Sorry to hear he's gone - he will be missed. Mark Mark Bohrer Active Light Photography www.activelightphotography.com Any Product. Any Location. Your Story.

On Tuesday, my Dad asked me to be sure to email everyone in his address book letting them know when he had passed... and I promised I would. His obituary ran in the Buffalo News today, you can find it located here: http://www.buffalonews.com/deaths/local-obituaries/article356800.ece Funeral services will be held from Temple Beth Zion, 805 Delaware Avenue, on Friday at 12:00 Noon.
