Lynn, thanks for your comforting words. I especially agree with your words about his shining blue eyes and that he loved working! He stands out in memory as being one of the few authentically friendly people I met when I first got to LA. I can't believe I'm not going to see his shining face again. He was generous and kind and today I cry for our loss.

So sad. I worked with him on “Annie” and had just recently found him on Facebook.

I was very fortunate to have grown up with Michael. Our dads were brothers so when the cousins got together, we were happy indeed. I will ALWAYS remember his beautiful, bright, shining, smiling eyes! You'd be hard pressed to find a happier person. He was talented “way back when” so after he went to New York and started his 31+ year career, it was no surprise that he would continue to be a Rising Star. I will never forget sitting in a movie theater watching the credits and seeing Michael Dennison on the big screen. Was I ever proud! I watched his steady ascent and couldn't have been prouder of his accomplishments. I've kept every ticket stub of every movie in which he played a part. I will always keep the People Magazines where Julia Roberts mentioned the kind deeds of “her friend”. While he was taken from his family and friends all too soon, it is somehow comforting to know that he left us in the midst of doing what he loved best. I could not have wished for a better life for him than the one he led. Our hearts are full of sadness and tears but I am sure that Uncle John and Aunt Dot are thrilled to be with him once again. HIs departure has left a huge hole in our hearts! While we didn't see each other at the end of his short life, he KNEW he was loved. His untimely passing is one more lesson that he passed on to us – - – never take a day for granted and tell those that mean the most to you that you love them every day. You never know when it might be your last time to say it! I loved you with all my heart, Michael and was so very proud of you!!! I will miss you terribly. Rest in Peace.
Your Cousin,
Lynn Dennison Huff

Loved reading this! Albert may not be aware that he was an impetus for me to get a larger working space! I will never forget him coming to my apartment eons ago to rent items for “Enemies, A Love Story” and leaving saying ” Grow up, Helen!” ( i.e. get a professional space!!#!!!!!)
……years later, after he came to our first 6,000 showroom, I asked him if I grew up (smile)…….he thought our new 6,000 costume showroom space was fabulous and we continued to work on films together since! Such a talent!
