Dear Jill and family,
We are so deeply saddened by Michael's passing. We will always have wonderful memories of swimming in the pool with him during the summer months! He so graciously invited us over and doted on our children with ice cream and sweets like our own Grandpa would. We'll also remember how lovingly he snuck treats to our two dogs through the backyard fence! How lucky you all are to have had such a wonderful, caring partner and father. He will surely be missed.
With Love, Alison, Robert, Ryan, Jaime, Kendall and Chase and Buster Sierens

Dear Mrs. Greenbaum,
My most sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband. I worked for Mike for some years until the merger with BBDO. He was a great businessman, but also one of the nicest, most compassionate people I ever worked for. I still think of him fondly after all these years.

Jil,
How saddened I am to hear of Michael's passing. Working for and with him was a blast and his support of my music with Carl was so special and appreciated. I have such fond memories of Cohen & Greenbaum and then our time at BBDO. Michael's energy will be sorely missed. My condolences to you and your family.
