We are so sorry for your loss. It is always so difficult to lose a father, a husband, a son, a brother, a son-in-law, a brother-in- law, an uncle and a friend. May you find comfort revisiting the very special moments that you spent with Mike.

I'm so sorry, Karla . I was honoured to call Mike my friend for many years. He was a compassionate, creative and intelligent man, who felt the human experience deeply. So much love to you and your beautiful children at this time of great tragedy and loss. Your loving friend, Brynna. To Sean and Heather, my sincerest condolences on the loss of your son. I hold many fond memories of Mike, a friend to our family, a non-judgmental, supportive man of great insight and innovation. We will hold these in our hearts.
