He practiced medicine in Rhode Island for 44 years and had long associations with Rhode Island Hospital, Roger Williams Hospital and as a teacher at the Brown University School of Medicine.

 

“Dr. Mike,” as he was more commonly known, treated thousands of patients and was beloved for his care and wonderful bedside manner. 

 

He was a pilot, avid traveler and an obsessive golfer at courses throughout Rhode Island. 

 

Michael was a devoted father, overly generous in support and guidance to his children, Emily and Jordan, and couldn’t get enough of his granddaughter Talia who shared his passion for raising havoc with a smile. 
 

He’ll be missed by all, and would want nothing more than for family, friends and patients to continue his legacy of extraordinary care.
