I am profoundly shocked with the news and can hardly believe that Michael has passed away. I met him several times in conferences and had a good relationship with him.
This events remember us how weak and unpredictable are our lives. I am sure he was ready for the travel. We will miss him as a scientist and as a nice person.
The best we can do now is pray for him to the Lord.

Best to all
