My sincere condolences to you Linda and to Mike's Family. I was so sad to hear that he was taken too early from us. It was an Honor to have been the Best Man at your wedding and to have gotten to know you. He will always be in my memories as a great person and a fantastic friend. RIP Mikie

My sincere condolences to Mikes family and friends. So sad to hear of his passing. I had the pleasure of calling Mike a friend during our high school days at Fellows HS in Pembroke Ont. Many many memories, some that can be shared and others that shouldn’t be….lol. I know he’ll be greatly missed by all those that knew him. Forever a Falcon.

My deepest, deepest sympathies to you, Linda, your beautiful children and to your whole family. I'm gutted to hear this terrible news about your beloved Mike and know you're suffering so very much.

I am sending you all so much love and healing light and hope that your immense sorrow eases with time and grace. Please know that I'm here for you if you need anything - please do reach out when you're ready and feel up to it.

My heartfelt light and love is sent to you.

Michael and I were classmates at Kiwedin elementary school and I enjoyed his friendship immensely. He sure loved shooting hoops and was great at all sports. Later I stopped in to say hi to him when he was working at a Pembroke grocery store as a stock boy. We were 17. He was just two days older than me. I always wondered what became of him. It is so nice to read that he married, had a family and was happy. I’m very sorry for your loss of a husband and dad. My sympathies to Michael’s siblings as well.

My deepest condolences to you and your family, Linda.

Rarely do we meet someone who we thoroughly enjoy spending time with, and at the same time we respect as a truly good human being, Mike was such a man, I looked up to him, and I will miss him

Marian and Lori send our deepest condolences to Linda, Alexa-Rae, Justin and family.

Mike was always fun to be around.

Although I didn't know Mike that well ( we met at Murfield) he was always gracious and fun to be around. I will remember his great swing and even better personality, a true Gentle man that will be missed. Condolences to the family.

My heart goes out to you and your family, Linda. Wishing you peace and healing,

Virginia Buckley

So sad and shocked to hear about Mike's passing this week.

Had been great to re-connect with him over the last few years for some fun golf days at his club out at Muirfield,with a lot of laughs (and a few pops). Will also miss our back and forth insults to each other re his Montreal Canadiens and my Boston Bruins.

That goes all the way back to our Sportchek days!

Far too young, and will be missed,our thoughts are with you.

Mike and Karen Yarrow

I have already expressed personally, my deep sadness of losing Mike, to his beloved family. I knew Mike for over 30 years and never saw him at any time but in a happy jovial mood. Oh my memories of him are happy ones.

I recently lost my husband and it was Michael who.helped me through the Very worst time I have ever experienced. He was kind, Compassionate and respectful of my every need. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Mary Calder
