Unfortunately I saw in the web this morning very sad news that Mike Martello has passed away.
For those that dont know Mike I have posted one of his videos below, I only had breif email contact with him but even this breif contact showed him to be an extremely helpful and sincere person willing to help a stranger any way he could.
Here is a post from a forum posted by a Joshua Craig,giving more details:
Mike Martello: RIP 5 October 1966 - 2 June 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of a great teacher and an even better friend.
Around around 9:30 this morning Mike Martello, age 42, passed away in Antwerp, Belgium, due to a congenital heart condition (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome).
Born 5 October 1966, Michael Anthony Martello, has played many roles and touched many lives. Overcoming many personal obstacles and helping many to find their own way, these last few years were among Mike’s happiest. Mike loved his family and his students.
Mike lived life fearlessly and without regret. Mike died loving life.
Mike we miss you. My door is always open.
Joshua
**Please note that though our seminar series with Mike Martello, scheduled for June 12-17, will no longer take place, we are considering a memorial in NYC on June 13 or 14. Details will be posted on my website as soon as Mike's personal arrangements have been made.
