Dear Lois,
My thoughts are with you and your family today as you celebrate Mike's life. What a wonderful life it was. Although I didn't really know him your many stories and your love and pride made it evident that he was truly a special person. I am so sorry that I cannot join you today but you will be in my thoughts and heart. My sincere condolences to all of you.

Dear Margaret, Sam and family:
We are so sorry to hear about your tremendous loss. One only had to meet Mike once to get a sense of his great enthusiasm for life. He clearly doted on his family, was devoted to his volunteer efforts and was easy to talk to. May all those good memories provide some comfort in your sorrow.
With sympathy, Linda Rosborough, Don Hulan and Charlotte Hulan

Thinking of each of you. Mike has had a rough year and I am sure he appreciated all the love and support he was given during very trying times.

Take care. I will see you soon.

Only knew Mike for a little while, after he joined Rapido. Great upstanding guy. He will certainly be missed by the Canadian model railway community.

My sincerest condolences to the family. I worked with and for Mike for years but I can truly say he was more my friend than my boss. He will be missed. Forever in our hearts and prayers.

Mike lived a very good life. He doted on his family, most particularly his young son Sam. He achieved a great deal in his professional career and a good deal more in his private life. He had an enormous number of friends in our community and was greatly respected. His contributions to the Air Cadets and the RCAFA are beyond counting. He was honest and ethical and a truly loyal friend. Mostly though I'll remember that wicked glint in his eye when he was planning something mischievous...especially after having a couple of Maker's Mark. I don't believe that the measure of a man's life is based on the number of years...Mike didn't get many. It is measured by the contributions made to one's fellow human beings, and in this Mike excelled. Per Ardua Ad Astra.
