To read his biography in the Jones Valley Hall of Fame (www.jonesvalley.net ) introduces one to a man of great intellect and ability in his many fields of endeavor. For a deeper view of his accomplishments go to www.Google.com and search on Michael Dainard. To read on his two websites, www.michaeldainard.com and www.mdainc.us about his "summer office" for daily writing excursions aboard the SS Carinthia while circling Lake Worthersee in Austria, gives one a glimpse into the soul of an amazing man in tune with nature and his own inner being...and transports the reader to the lapping waves of his peaceful, creative voyages. Beloved Austrian wife, Baerbel, will honor Michael's request to have his ashes spread on this beautiful lake he so loved and enjoyed.....as well as among the beauty of New York City's Gramercy Park near his home in Gramercy Park South, where when in the states he often sat and wrote with pet park squirrel "Nutsy" perching on his computer. Michael lived the life of his dreams while motorcycling through the Alps of Austria and Italy...but his great love was his family. He is survived by his wife Baerbel; his sons Stefan Michael of New York City and Vienna and Michael Scott Dainard; his daughter Susan Margaret Dainard; grandchildren Brandy Thompson, Adam Montgomery, Michael Cole and Melissa Dainard; great-grandchildren Aliya Crutcher, Lacey Thompson and Faith Montgomery all of the Birmingham area. Michael also leaves a sister, Denise Pounder of London, Ontario, Canada. He was preceded in death by Michael was preceeded in death by his son Michael Steven; his mother Mrs. Margaret Logsdon of Birmingham, a native of London, England, and beloved grandmother "Nana". Michael's daughter, Susan, speaks for the family in saying "He was very loved by all who met him. He was a unique and special man; truly one of a kind. His accomplishments were too numerous to count and yet he remained humble. He constantly would strive to "build a better mouse trap". Even during his lenghy illness he continued to work on documentaries and mentored former students via email. It seems everyone who knew him knew something different or had another piece of the puzzle that made up this wonderful man. There is a hole in our hearts that nothing could ever begin to fill, but as time passes it will be filled with memories. He will be greatly missed!" A memorial service will be held in September at The Player's Club in New York City.
