Michael passed away this past Sunday in NYC. He was an accomplished designer. As I have seen nothing in the SC papers I thought it okay to post here. His good friend from Iva tells me the family might have a memorial service his birthday weekend. He had been suffering from a rare lymphoma since July. RIP Michael. You were loved and you will be missed.
