I can’t believe it’s been Two years already since you left us. I think about you often MK. I am so glad we were able to reconnect before your passing. I miss you buddy. RIP may god bless you and your family always. MB

We just heard the news today of your fathers passing, and we are all deeply saddened. Over the years he had become a good friend to all of us here at Select Vacation Properties. He was charming, fun, quick with a smile and incredibly talented.  He always brightened up our office whenever he stopped in, and was our first recommendation to anyone who needed a contractor. We always received the highest compliments when it came to your Dad. He loved you girls so much and often shared stories of you two… based on his smile you could tell you two were the angels that gave him meaning and purpose. Please hold on to all of your wonderful memories. Know he loved you more than life itself. From all of us here, Lee Ann, Chris, Linda, and Patience, we send our condolences to you and his loved ones. He will be sorely missed.   

On behalf of the Fort Myers Design Works Team,  our deepest condolences for your loss. We remember Michael for his charisma, generosity, being a great customer, and more importantly a wonderful human being. We miss him. 


Dear Julia, Kate and Linda, We are so sorry to learn of the death of your Dad this week. We are thinking of you all as you gather to share your memories of this special human. We hope you all know how veey special each of you were in his life! You were his Sun and Moon. With fond memories of your Dad and Grandmother, two very vibrant, caring and energetic folks who loved you greatly! Love, from Ned and Diane @WW

I think if Michael had it his way,  we would all be wearing Chanel red lipstick right now to honor him.  Preferably #466 from Saks – kept in the Saks bag!   Because that was Michael; he loved style, he loved tradition, and he believed in doing it right.  Michael called me his little baby sister, and he wanted me to have more style – so he gifted me with LOTS of red Chanel Lipstick!  Greg and I are heartsick that we aren’t going to have another chance to be in his light again. He was always planning for the next big thing he could do in Michael Style – decorating for holidays, his Christmas party, a birthday, Noles’ football games, and always the next thing he could do with his Kate and Julia.   I wish he could know how many of his gentleman’s gestures that he made by sending notes, dropping off gifts, dressing with that Michael flair, and sharing his life lessons, some won and some lost – left lifelong memories for those he touched.  I’m so sorry we didn’t get to have the lunch we were planning.  God’s speed Micheal.  Rest in peace.

Michael  was the nicest guy ,always stopping in our office just to sit and talk and was always leaving a ten dollar bill for candy ,his last request was kit kats and here they are  waiting for him his little gifts and flowers made us feel like family ,he was always talking about his daughters and all the time he loved spending with them.,we love you Michael and will miss you everyday....love  Janet ,Vivian and the office of Brighton Realty   Too me he was chicken leg and skinny butt  ....a little private joke we had.  

It was with great sadness I received the notice of Michaels passing.
A dear friend for the past 12/years who brought much  joy & laughter each morning, or afternoon, to me and our office.  He was  always so thoughtful & caring to all he called friend and never let an occasion go by without demonstrating just how much he cared. I feel blessed for knowing him and I will miss him immensely.  
My heart felt condolences goes out to Kate & all of Michaels beloved family members- may Gods peace enfold each of you during these difficult moments. In Peace & Light, Vivian Z.

The entire Bonbrisco Family of Greenwich Ct. would like to extend our sincere condolences to  Kate, Julia and  Linda  Knowlton..  After many years of not seeing or hearing from Michael, It was Serendipitous on how Michael and I finally connected again. I believe the Lord  had guided our paths one final time. Michael was a fun  loving  and caring soul who was bigger than life at times. Our last dinner together Michael spoke about how much he  loved his two girls , more than anything in the world and much they had meant to him. I will always cherish the fond memories that Michael and I experienced together we were like brothers for many years. Are parting farewell was  to  keep In touch with each other more often.   My thoughts and Prayers  as well as my entire family are with the Knowlton family now at this most difficult moment. May he Rest In Peace with the Lord now and forever.
