I never met him but downloaded some of his music which was great.Met his Mum last month in London and was shocked to receive the news of his tragic death.What a waste of a life..so sad. My condolences to all.

So sad! Such a terrible inexplicable and irreplacable loss!It's shocking that it should happen to a man so gentle and kind,a man whose gifts far outweighed his good fortune. And it's particularly cruel that it should happen just when his personal professional luck began to turn. My heart goes out to his parents and to Ewa who brought him abrief but real happiness and especially to his children whom he genuinely loved and missed very much. Max - be proud of your father and remember him always!

I've been forwarding these tributes, and Ros has emailed me as follows:

Hi, we are aiming to put all the tributes on the Klezmer gourmets website eventually, this is what eva wants- can everything be forwarded to klezmergourmets at o2 dot co dot uk and/ or could you put this email on your page so people can be redirected to this email to leave a message.
Hope this is ok, many thanks.
Ros Hawley

Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts and memories.

The man who showed us how to dance with a big laugh!
What a shock on my way back to my country.
The sky was grey and I cried a lot.

I still can't believe this happened to Micheal...not fair,,

We had a beautiful human being once.



with peace

Five months later, and still, unfortunately, no closure on Michael's tragic death. We planted a conifer opposite Michael's window in Cavendish Rd. on his 40th birthday, and it's still fresh and green,even though the leaves have fallen from the other garden trees. We see it every day and, therefore,obviously, remember Michael every day.We hope that this, albeit, small, remembrance of Michael, will offer some comfort to his family, that here, where he spent time with his children,he will never be forgotten.
