I thought of you today. I remember you helping me with math homework in Ms. Marple's class. You were so kind, right from the beginning.

a happy b-day jurist! you would be pleased to know harper ended up getting a majority, and all is well in canada. It would have been interesting to know your thoughts on hunstman- an empty suit, or qualified? who knows, maybe i could support him in 2016, but not against obama!

It's my Junior year here now and I remember talking to you when you were a Junior at Georgetown telling me how great GU is and that I should apply. Your life was short but your heart was big.

Your Second Annual Tennis tournament during A-Day was great! Good turnout, fun tennis, a super tribute! Todd and Ben Sinclair took trophy - how appropriate! Kenny Ng and Rohan tough competitors - Next Year? Gray Rocks participants Alicia and Ryan - took Spirit Award - tho Mac Allen, again gave everyone a run for the money! All who attended and supported were key players and contenders!
Big thanks to UCC, Carly, Mike A, Geoff H, Geordie K, Dave L for a fantasic effort!

Mike -- I always think of the great times we had...the roadtrips, bbqs, Hoya games, pretending to study on Healy lawn. What I wouldn't give to listen to you argue politics with Tom & Joe, and make fun of me & Rose again. Miss you always.

Mike...recently, I watched a video of the Blackhawks resident singer singing "O'Canada" for the last Stanley cup. It's been stuck in my head. I even learned all of the word!!!! You'd be proud. I remember singing the song in the lower level of Leo's freshman year, I'd do the first few lines, and you'd go on...sometimes in French. We miss you terribly buddy....

Hi Mike - we brought Karl Rove for your memorial lecture this week. We took a group photo with him afterwards - still doesn't rival yours with Obama on the New North steps though :) Still turn around sometimes and expect to see you directing ushers, totally in charge of the situation. We miss you.

Surprise Michael - all of a sudden your Wall is working! So I will repost our tribute to all your friends who supported your UCC June 13 Tennis Memorial.
"Michael, sweetheart - Your many wonderful friends from far and near gathered at UCC on June 13th in your honor. It was a beautiful day of great tennis, fond memories and heartwarming friendship - an awesome tribute to you by so many of your peers.
Many other friends, too far away to attend, were with you in spirit.
You and they make us so proud. We miss you, 24/7, always.
Love Mom and Dad"

A poem for Michael
If you could hear my words. I would tell you thanks
I wish you could know how you have touched my life.
I regret that I can not share my joys with you today.
For it is you…
Tough on the surface, but smoldering with adolescent insecurity; you made my day.
You knew my plight like no one else and maybe you didn’t know it then; but what you tried means so much to me now.
if someday, someone asks of me the same I hope that I can be like Mike.
Never did your efforts go unnoticed… a friend for all times
always in my heart,
- Kinsley J.

Michael,
I got into Georgetown last Saturday. I was happy about the news until I thought of you. January 2007, I contacted you via email asking about your experience at Georgetown, and you soon made me fall in love with the school. I wish you were here so I could truly thank you for all the help you gave me those stressful months during...See More

I feel awful Mike that I'm only finding out the news now, but let me tell you that you were definitely taken from the rest of us way too early.
I wish we had kept in better touch over the years, but I won't forget the time we did get to spend with eachother.
Rest in peace, big guy. Our thoughts are always with you.

You are an inspiration which drives my through the tough times at university, Mike. You are a role-model which any kid could look up to. Thanks for setting a great example, and remember: QQQ's Hu-Ah!
You will be missed.

Our dearest Mike....This is a message from all of those belonging to the Matchpoint crew....7 years later and your name still comes up in conversations. You were an amazing camper and you are a truly incredible man. You will never be forgotten. Our prayers are with you and your family. Love, your Matchpoint counsellors

Michael Y.
Michael,
It amazes me that something like seven years has passed since I last saw you. It's hard to imagine how much has changed since then. Still, before this happened, when I remembered you (which was frequent -- you often came up in conversations -- it seems everyone knows you and loves you), I still remembered you as fifteen. I've learned, however, that in those seven years since I saw you last, you had grown up to be something of an incredible man. Learning about you and your many accomplishments, over the last two weeks, has both inspired me to really embrace life and its opportunities, but has also saddened me a little -- it has saddened me because I didn't get an opportunity to reconnect with such an interesting, thoughtful and caring person. I person that I would have really liked to know.
You will be in my thoughts, Michael -- you will not be forgotten.
Michael

It didnt take me long to realize, after the first few days in Nice many years ago, that u were one of the most caring, intelligent, and nicest people I knew and have ever known. I didnt know you that well or for that long and, though I wish I did, I am greatful to have known you and I will not forget you. Rest in peace.

I have been sitting here desperately trying find the right words to describe how kind and generous you were, Mike.. but, such words obviously do not exist. All I can see in my mind is that great big smile of yours that never seemed to fade.
While I wish that we had been closer, I am so honoured to have known you and spent time with you. I am - and will forever be - thinking of you and your family.

Mike- I cannot express what a devastation it is to have lost you. You were one of the most decent human beings I had ever met, and one of the first people I got to know at Georgetown. You are missed, and my thoughts are with your family.

Jennifer N.
mike- it's a tragedy for the world to lose a person like you, you were an amazing sweet and a smart guy and i'm so glad I got to know you. Thank you for coming to my party last year and showing me a good time every time i came around. my thoughts and prays are with you and your family i know right now you are looking down on us and smiling because that is what you always did, was smile and you made the whole world happy with it too. god bless- with love Jenn

Brendan M.
You were a good friend; in retrospect, I really wish I'd kept in touch, I really enjoyed the time I did spend at Georgetown with you. I wish I could say something powerful or poetic, but I'd just end up trivializing this. The highest praise I can offer is that you were there for me in a very rough, tumultuous time in my life. I often wished I'd been more like you, as I know few others as successful and grounded as you. God Bless, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
August 3, 2007 at 4:39am
Dave P.
I've been spending the last few days trying to come up with something to explain how much you meant to me as a friend, but I guess words just can't do it justice.
So Mikey J, you're my best friend forever and we'll see each other again in a new life.
Take er easy bro

We wanted to create an opportunity for people to get together and remember Mike, so for anyone who is in NYC, here's a link to the fbook event. Anyone who wants to come is welcome, please let other people know and feel free to add them to the invite. Since I can only invite people I'm facebook friends with, there are a lot of people I haven't been able to add.

It was great working with you for the past 2 summers I will never forget the good times we had working together on Team Turkey, you will be missed greatly..... I will miss you this September in London, and back in NYC. My prayers go out to all those who knew you.........God Bless

It feels weird paying my respects on Facebook, but its the only forum I have.
From Dean Krogh's class to working at the Corp, you will be missed. I'm just sorry I didn't get a chance to hang out with you more.

Hey Mike, long time no see! The summer we had together was a summer I will never forget. I wish we could have hit the court now that I live in Toronto now! Let me tell you this. When I get up there, we will hit the most beautifull tennis court there is so you can teach me the moves. Then we can hit the most beautifull golf course there is and I teach you a trick or two alon side with Blake. It was a blessing to meet you buddy. Can wait to see you again! Enjoy the nice weather up there!

Mike, every time I saw you, you always had a positive attitude. From freshman year on Harbin 4 to hanging out during senior week and at the Tombs, I will miss you! You and your family are in my prayers!!!

It doesn't take a series of facebook comments to realize that you are a great human being that will be remembered... We are all honoured to have known you and spent the times we have with you. My heart goes out to you, your family, your girlfriend, and all who mourn and read this. Rest in peace buddy.

You were a truly great friend and all around great person. It seems truly unreal that I'll never be able to run into you at the Tombs again or cheer with you at a basketball game. I'll miss you, Mike. xoxo

It seems like just yesterday we we're sitting in Leo's arguing politics and singing "O Canada". You were a true gentleman and a great friend, and anyone who ever met you is better for it. You and yours are in our thoughts and prayers always.

Like monkey, I can't believe I'm writing this either. It was like yesterday that we first met during tennis tryouts freshman year. Club Tennis helped grow out of you and helped build a friendship that will last forever. I'll miss ya man. You were an awesome dude. I'll be praying for you and your family. RIP

Rick C.
i echo the sentiments of everyone below. it is unsuprising that a person of your caliber would have such kind/wise friends.
mike, you were everything these people have described you as, but above all, you were genuine. and that sadly is a rare thing in this world. you will NEVER be forgotten.
August 1, 2007 at 9:42am

to the first person i emailed from the yahoo group through every time we played tennis, you've always been a class act, jurist. thanks for always being ready to hit and just being a genuine and kind guy. take care and i'll miss you.

Mr. Jurist, I just wanted to say that I've always admired you as a person and as a friend. I'm sorry we never got to keep as close as we did during freshmen year, but it's definitely way better than nothing. Kudos to what Turri said. Peace out, brotha. You'll be in everyone's prayers
July 31, 2007 at 8:24pm
Eric T.
I can't believe I'm writing this. You were an inspiration to every person you met, myself very much included. You had it all going for you, you were one hell of a tennis player, and you even got into Harvard...but I'll remember you most for being a sincere, easy going, and generous friend.
Here's to you, Mike. We're going to miss you, we already do.
