Dear Sue, My heart goes out to you. Although we have not seen each other for years, from 68-75 and beyond Mike and yourself were true friends at Innis & U of T. Mike will be truly missed as he was always a solid rock for everyone who knew him.

Dear Sue:
You probably don't remember me, but I worked at Innis College in the 70's after Lynn Day retired and got to know Mike through the co-op office. Mike was always a helpful, cheerful man and ready to listen to what you had to say in managing the residences or anything else that needed to be done.
My thoughts are with you and yours,
Jane (Gibson) MacArthur (standing next to Audrey in the photograph).

A warm hug for you Sue - you never met me but I wanted to share with you the imprint Fuzz left on my young years at Innis in the 70's. He was the big scary guy with a big kind heart - a larger than life person that left a big wonderful smile of an impression. What a gift having him in your life. You are blessed and many folks circle you with their love and care.

To Dear Sue
I was so glad to see you and Mike on our recent trip to Toronto this past July and spend the evening with you. You remember that I told you that after speaking with him, he got up and joined us outside for your lovely BBQ dinner. Although I have not known you for many years as my husband Eli has, I always felt welcome in your home. Back in 2001 when we visited the previous time, I remember my daughter's having a fabulous time with all Fuzz's snakes. He will be sorely missed and may God bless you and your family during this difficult time.

Fuzz was a true friend and a great human being in more ways than one.
He was the only decent business and work partner I ever had. Mike taught me all the little professional secrets of the renovation and handyman trade - skills that kept me employed many years and earned the respect of my many customers, as well as keeping me from injury in the workplace by knowing how to work safely and wisely. Despite his rough exterior, he had a heart of pure gold. I am very glad that I got a chance to see him and spend an evening with Mike and Sue on my recent visit to Canada. He will be sorely missed.
