    Michael and I had our differences, exacerbated by the fact that we
    are both so passionate about our advocacy, but when I first met
    Michael this was indeed the trait that I admired most about him. He
    took the initiative to arrange to meet up with me to talk about our
    work, in the much earlier days of the IGC and we butted heads off
    and on from there. I wasn't sure that the Community Informatics
    field would survive his passing, but it's a testament to his work
    that it is still going strong. He will be remembered and missed.<br>

          <div>I didn't know Michael passed away in October last year.
            My sincere condolences to those who knew him personally and
            those of us who only knew him virtually. He was a member of
            the IGC for many years. Good idea for a tribute to him<br>
