As a bocher Michal was the go to guy if you needed some strength as he was the person who was never judgmental and always a had good word and a positive attitude and gave you the feeling that its not so bad the eibershter is always with us. He encouraged others, he would invite me over for Shabbos and he didn’t have to say much just his presence gave off this feeling of loving and caring, I will always keep his smile in my heart, Rest Michal with all the other Zeeese neshoma people in peace. thank you
