Hello Betty,
My deepest condolences to you and your family with the passing of Michael.
I knew Michael a very long time ago and treasure the memories.
He was a wonderful man.
Regards,
Gail Porter
We are very sorry to hear of Michael’s death , we have lots of fond memories of him myself from our first meeting at Pearson airport in 1974, Robert and Michael watched many football games with Michael in Nottingham and Stratford on Avon. We lost contact when we moved out of Ontario. Our thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time.
I knew Mike from our teenage years in Nottingham, England. We hung out together and went to watch Nottingham Forest FC (soccer). After the family moved to Stratford on Avon, I used to drive down to watch the FA Cup Final on TV. An event always highlighted by Vera, his mother, vacuuming the living room during the match! Great memories.
Then when Carol and I immigrated to Canada, we found ourselves both working for the same engineering consultants. He visited us in Simcoe soon after our daughter Andrea arrived.
Love to Elaine.
Met and worked closely with Mike at Proctor & Redfern in the 70s/80s and continued our friendship connections for many years thereafter. A fine, caring professional and a "top drawer" person; good listener, always helpful, both technically and personally. Always good to see Mike with Tom at the P&R Christmas Luncheons to swap tales and share a friendly beer, with good cheer. Rest well friend Michael !! Paul Nelson & Many Other P&R Colleagues
I met Mike over 40 years ago and he has been one of my best friends ever since. We have done so much together over those years with a lot of fond memories and stories. We spent a lot of time together sailing, skiing and drinking. He was with me when I met Susan, my wife and was my best man at our wedding.
I will dearly miss him, he was a good friend to me and others and always had a good word for everyone and a sense of fairness.
My heartfelt condolences to his wife Betty and their daughter Alison.
