Michael demonstrated great courage and commitment as he risked his life trying to save another, and his legacy will live on in the hearts of those he inspired with his immense concern for the welfare of others. My deepest sympathy goes out to his wife and daughter, as well as the rest of Michael's family, friends and colleagues. and I join everyone attending in honoring his sacrifice.
