Dear Orlander family. I am so sorry to hear about your/our loss. Michel was intelligent and clever. He was sweet and so kind. He was gentle and funny. He was so special and when you were with him, he made you feel special too. His loving and caring nature was a gift. He was indeed a prince. May you be comforted amongst the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, Debbie Singer

Dear Paul and Helayna and family,
The Board of Bialik Hebrew Day School expresses deepest condolences on the passing of your father and grandfather, Michael. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
May his memory be for a blessing.
Harriet, Margie, Paul and family. I just was informed of Michael’s passing and was so saddened by the news. Although we have not been able to see each other for many years the love we have for the family is still very strong. I always enjoyed Shabbat dinners at my parents home, especially when your branch of the family was there. I can easily remember Michael’s smile and soft laughter. I am certain he will be sadly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. Sending a virtual hug to all of you
