I was shocked to read this morning of Michael’s passing. I am further saddened that I missed the memorial. I have fond memories of being Michael’s neighbor when our family moved to Calgary in 1967. Michael came to both my mother and father’s funerals and I feel badly that I couldn’t make it to his. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Ian, Diane and all your family.

So sorry to hear about Michael’s passing. Our prayers are with you. Let us know if you need a hand with anything.

Lyle and Loretta Statham.

Dolores, Ian, Denise, Devon (and all),

I am so saddened to hear of Michael’s passing; you are all in my thoughts as I type this while his service has commenced. I’m sorry for your loss and am sending you strength to get through this difficult time…both now and in moving forward.

I’m remembering the time my Mom, Trevor and I sat beside Mike and Dolores at Christmas mass a few years ago. Trevor cracked a joke when collections were being taken and Mike and I were doing the uncontrollable and obviously laughing movements in the pew…Trevor’s timing for jokes always comes when you shouldn’t be laughing.

I will remember Mike laughing.

With love,

Dear Delores & family,

I had the honour of growing up alongside your wonderful family. Michael was such a kind and loving man. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry for your loss. We know Michael will be dearly missed. You are in our thoughts and prays.

To Aunt Delores, Ian, Denise and Devon. I am very sorry to hear of the lose of your son and brother. I will always remember my cousin as a kind soul and a beautiful individual and what a funny funny man especially ‘Latka’ as Mike could only really do him justice back in the day. His impersonation made me laugh and laugh. I will always remember him fondly.

I am sorry I won’t be able to attend the service, but my thoughts and prayers will be with you all during the service and in the days to come. Take Care.

Love Katherine

It is so so sad to hear of the passing of Michael. Our deepest condolences and prayers to you all.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Michael’s passing. He was one of the kindest, sweetest men I ever knew and I am sure he will be terribly missed by his family and friends. I will miss his cheery voice when I phone and the rare visits that I had with him. I am so very sorry.

Delores and family:

I was so sorry to hear about Michael’s passing – he was such a kind and gentle soul. I will not be able to attend his funeral as I am away in Palm Springs but please know I will be thinking about you and your family and I am praying for Michael and all of you at this most difficult time. Please accept my deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences! I know you will all miss him so much!
