I am posting this on behalf of my sister, Trinda:

Lexi, I am so sorry to hear of Michael's passing.  My sympathy to you and all the family.

Trinda


Our mothers were sisters. There is a bond between the five of us. We shared many great times together over the years. 
Michael and I took time out of life in November, upon my brothers death, to catch up. We reflected on the past, laughed at our experiences and spoke of our children.  Lexi, your dad said "Don't know what I would do without  that girl of mine." His love and voice will always be in your heart.
Michael to me was sincere, kind, and his humor was big, big, big!
It was his compassion I will always remember and cherish. I will look forward to seeing my cousin at the second coming. There will be all the time of eternity to share together.

Dear Lexi,

I  have had the pleasure to work with Michael since 2011, and I always appreciated his honesty and loyalty.  He would always have the best interest of the hospital at heart, and let us know when a physician was not doing what they were supposed to do.   He decorated his office wall with pictures of you (and his political favorites), and I know he was very proud of you.  I had the opportunity to talk to him on Friday while he was in the hospital.  I will greatly miss Michael, as will the Paradise Valley, Bayview , and Alvarado friends he made over his time here (dating back 40 years as an LVP).   His impact will be felt for many years to come, and we are all very thankful to have had the opportunity to know him.  We are so sorry for your loss, and will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.  
My deepest condolences,
Neerav Jadeja
CEO - Paradise Valley Hospital

I am sad to hear of Michael‘s passing. I have happy memories of past times we shared. Especially Sabbath with the family, our work together in pathfinder club, our many fun camping trips with Trinda and Tricia. Michael in recent times was always willing to help with anything when ever we asked. Michael you had a very good heart for your family and friends that will be Greatly missed.

Dearest Lexi:
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing, I formed a friendship with your Dad at work. I always enjoyed talking to him, he was smart, caring, helpful and had the very best sense of humor. We shared some common beliefs and I absolutely adored his wit and clever comments.    He was always a delight to be around and was one of my favorite people to talk to. He often spoke about you, about how important his relationship was with you and of how proud he was of you. He was an honorable man who cared about people and made a difference at home and at work. We need more like your Dad in the world. He will be greatly missed. I am sorry for your loss . Alice

With great sadness we join you in remembering our beloved brother Michael.

This past week we have been spending time going thru old photos and memories.

Michael’s life was not always easy.
Despite that, he loved deeply and he showed compassion and generosity for the people in his life.
The love he showered over his daughter Lexi was an example to all of us who are blessed to be parents.
She was the center, and delight of his life.

One of the gifts from Michael to Lexi was a love of books and reading.
This is a shared Cleveland family trait.

Michael could laugh at things in life and we will always remember the sound of his voice,
as well as that laugh which could change a serious discussion into a light moment for all of us.

We will pose one last question which I suspect would cause Michael to chuckle.

The question still remains:
Does cottage cheese really go with everything?

It’s still so hard to believe that you’re gone. You left us way too soon. In your own quiet way you were always there for your loved ones. You were generous and loyal. You are a part of who I am today. You gave me my love of music and sports and comedy and so many other things. So many memories and special times that I will be holding close to my heart. I’ll be missing you always.

Michael was the most amazing man that we loved and we were so blessed to have him as part of the Alvarado team!  We will miss him so very much💖

Michael will be so dearly missed. When I worked with him on Prime hospitals, I often looked forward to phone calls with him and hearing his humorous jokes. It was fun sharing in banter, and he had a way with lightening the mood during the busyness and stresses of life. He was a man of organization and relationality. My heart goes out to family and anyone who had the opportunity of knowing Michael. Praying for comfort, unity, endurance, and strength as we remember Michael and his profound impact on everyone around him.

To Lexi and the family of Michael, 
I was so saddened and heart broken when I learned of Michael's passing. This is such a loss to the mental health and medical community in San Diego. I worked with Michael while doing utilization review for Bayside, and we became friends and he would always come out and support local theatre when I was in a play. Michael had such a dry, and at time dark sense of humor that bounded us and well as him to others. His sarcasm was renowned. 
I am so sorry for the loss you are enduring and my love and warm thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. Michael will be greatly missed.
