playbill.com Diva Talk Column:
"This week's column is dedicated to Michael Wittenberg, Bernadette Peters' husband who was tragically killed in a helicopter crash earlier this week. Donations can be made in Wittenberg's name to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Broadway Barks or Standing Tall. The latter was an organization that meant a great deal to the late investment advisor. A message on the Standing Tall website says, "Mike was the beloved Director and Treasurer of Standing Tall, a program for the most severely disabled and multiply handicapped children. Mike was one of the strongest and most physically able people in the universe. He protected a population of disabled children at Standing Tall that must work very hard just to sit, stand, walk and speak. They are the least physically able in our society. He was Standing Tall's guardian angel. The families of Standing Tall drew from his enormous outward and inner strength to find purpose and hope in their lives. His energy, enthusiasm, vision and kindness will be sorely missed."
There will be a private memorial only for relatives and close family friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with the much loved Bernadette."

This is the last paragraph of the Boston Globe obituary.
"While she was on Broadway, he was sitting in the front row almost every evening," Scott Lanham, a senior managing director at Wachovia Securities, told Bloomberg News. Lanham hired Mr. Wittenberg from Smith Barney about three years ago. "I held Mike in very high esteem. He was in the top couple of percent in the industry for what he did and how he did it."
