We are very sorry for your loss. We hope that memories of happier times will give you comfort. Please accept our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
So sad to learn of Mike's passing. What an enviable and fascinating life he led! A true renaissance man in so many ways. Reading about his experiences brought to mind the wonderful old IMAX film, North of Superior. And reading Elizabeth's beautiful tribute, I can understand how growing up, or simply living, in Northern Ontario can place a huge imprint on one's soul. I have an idea how much you do, and will, miss him. May your happy memories help you through this difficult time. Sincere condolences to Zina and the entire family.
Mike was a character and I know his family will miss him dearly! I was lucky enough to experience his and Zina’s generous hospitality in Toronto and at the beloved and beautiful cottage, and to enjoy Mike’s boat tour and stories of his youth! Liz, Zina, Adrienne, and Gina, I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope all the great memories of Mike (and those amazing family photos) help ease the difficulty of grieving.
To my Galway friends - Zina, Elizabeth, Gina, Adrienne, Kevin, Rosie and Angie. I’m so sorry to hear of this news. Your father/ husband/ father-in-law/ grandfather helped create such a loving and clever family that is full of wit and has a strong appreciation for a strong bond. This is a moving tribute to an accomplished man and a testament to the love and pride you all clearly have in his life. His was one that was so well lived with a wonderful legacy. I’m sending you all my thoughts and hopes that these memories will be often and happy. Keep up the good work of looking after each other. All my very best, Trish
