Michael B. Ekman

 Michael B. Ekman, 73, of Wilton Manors, FL died unexpectedly on December 2, 2024. He was born in Manchester, NH on April 1, 1951 to Selwyn and Eileen (Soreff) Ekman. 

 Michael earned a Bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University and went on to complete Master’s degrees from Babson and Bentley colleges.
