THE FINAL CURTAIN
Michael suffered a heart attack on June 1st. He was incredibly well cared for by very capable and compassionate caregivers at Mercy Medical Center and at Windsor Redding Care Center, where he lived. Michael was treated with “Humankindness” at every turn – and his family will be forever grateful. With personal friends over the years that ranged from best friends for over 50 years to celebrities such as Johnny Mathis, Rock Hudson, the Sinatra’s, Bob Crew and many more – some of Michael’s new best friends for the past two years have been the staff and residents at Windsor, especially the “Hole in the Wall Gang.”
On June 12th, 2014 on a full moon, Michael sang his last note in peace and clarity, with his brother by his side.
Listen carefully, you might still hear it...
Michael was preceded in death by his mother, Theresa (Teddy) Gluck, and his father, Hyman Gluck. He is survived by his brother, Jeffrey Jon Gluck and his wife, Pam, of Redding, California; his niece, Geneva Foster Gluck of Tucson, Arizona; and by so many good friends that were like family to him.
As you know, Michael loved good food and good company! Friends are encouraged to celebrate Michael’s life by sharing memories of him with family and friends over a favorite meal and to add stories and photos to this memorial site.
