I don't know Mike at all, but I remember a few years ago on one of the fall cruises he sat down with Rob and I for lunch and chatted with us like we were best friends from school. Quite the guy, very sorry to hear.

Sad to hear.
Only just met Mike last Aug. 14/16 when he attended a Group 905 meet. He had a great sense of humour and was (rightly) proud of his 911. Condolences to his friends and family.

RIP Mike.

He frequented our Service Ontario office and was always joking around that he was my mother's boyfriend. About a month ago we were chatting and he was pleading with me to show up to the Tuesday night car show at Dorval as he was usually the only P-car. Wish I had gone.

I'm sure he is driving the twisty highway in the sky with the top down.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Mike was sent off with many friends and family in attendance including many here from Rennlist. Although he moved on too soon, he packed a lot into those 59 years. He was always ready to help and always had something to say that made you laugh. Keep the rev's up my friend, I'll see you again some day.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

It was a fine speech you made, Doug, even if you prefaced it with: "I'll give it a shot!" when the pastor asked at the end if anyone else would like to say a few words.

The story you mentioned of ten one-minute long voice mails from Mike just to get his thoughts through is exactly the passionate yet corky personality Mike had, it was contagiously funny.

Miss him a great deal already.

I was nervous.

Mike,
You always made me feel as if we were in a close, secret fraternity, just because we shared a first name.
RIP brother. Good luck on your next adventure.
Mike
