Dear Arlene – I just wanted you to know how sorry I am to have learned the news about Mike. I know what you have been through, and I am sure this is a bittersweet moment for you. That said, it a deep loss and leaves a big hole. My thoughts are with you. Ann

Our condolences to the entire Haft family,
May Mike’s memory be a blessing to his family. Our condolences to you all.
We so fondly remember the times spent together in the sun at the pool with Mike and Arlene , and sometimes Suzie, Alexa,, Carly, Noah and Cole.. There was always much laughter as Lawrence and Mike tried to top each other with hoary old jokes. Mike would regularly try to lead a game of Simon Says in the pool. We will miss the self- styled Mayor of Mizner .

Arlene, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the funeral. You, Suzie and all the kids really captured the Mike I remember. I didn’t know you were married on Mikes birthday which is also my birthday. Love to you and the whole family.

We met Mike and Arlene at the Mizner Resort in Florida about twenty years ago. From the moment we met Mike, we knew he would become a life long friend! His humor, his wit, his jokes and the hair! We all loved his beautiful hair!
We have such fond memories and will always keep them close to our heart!
May his memory be a blessing!

Haft family – We send condolences on the loss of Mike. I remember many family events growing up where he was the life of the party and was so much fun to be around. May his memory be a blessing. Sending lots of love during this difficult time.
