I miss seeing you reading on the deck. Mike you would be so proud of Susans artistic talent and you wold love how much Cookie has given her and how blessed we are in Bloor West Village to have them both. The pair are a living legend already! Well lift a glass and drown the shamrock in your honour this March 17. Anne and Denis

A math teacher I feared as a student--he was deep voiced, extremely intelligent, and all that hair--yet he had an effective method with presenting the days lessons, in an understandable and passionate manner--some teachers you forget--this one (Michael) will be remembered forever; Ihor Rizen--HCI class of 77'

Dear Susan
I was very sorry to hear about the death of Michael. I was sending Avedon an email and read it on her facebook page.
Although, I only met you and Michael a few times,(once in London with Avedon) they were very pleasant experiences. For awhile after we met, I would see you or him in the Bloor West Village, but it has been sometime since I encountered either Michael or you in the Village.
I know that he will be greatly missed and that he touched many people through his career as a teacher and through his fanzine activities.

He may have taught my least favourite subject, but he did so in a very memorable way. I'll never forget playing with his pet boa constrictor....re-named Curiosity after it ate his wife's cat.
Thanks for keeping things interesting Mr. Glicksohn.
Cheers to you!

Mr Glicksohn was my grade 9 math teacher at Humberside and I adored and respected him because his eloquent math lessons and his signature beard made me feel like I was in the company of a great philosopher. When he came to class with his huge pet Boa constrictor wrapped around his arms - he was bigger then life!
Cheers to you Mr Glicksohn...Thank you for being a part of my life.
My condolences to the family.

Mr. Glicksohn had the patience and eccentricity to keep math a subject that would otherwise have been unpassable -thanks for the memories and for bringing the python to class-what an experience! Dasha HCI alum 77'

Mr. Glicksohn was a great teacher and I am thankful to have been one his students - in addition to turning me into a math geek (happily ... it's actually paid off quite well so far in my finance career), he as the man that taught me to be on time (recall former Glicksohn students: you'd be locked out of class if even 20 seconds past the bell!), and, most importantly, taught me to always be on guard - as "a day without a quiz, is like a day without sunshine".
Rest in peace Mike - and thank you so much for being an important part of my life.

Mike was a wonderful teacher to our children Ceilidh and Jack and a wonderful member of our community. He will be missed and a walk down Windermere Avenue on a sunny afternoon will never be the same.

Mike was an outstanding teacher of Mathematics for our son,
David. We will miss him sitting out on his chair on the front porch at Windermere Avenue, We always knew Spring was well on its way, and summer not far behind, when the bearded Mike was immersed in a book!

In memory of Mike Glicksohn,
a denizen of the garden he shared with Susan.
A great friend will be missed tremendously.
For the hours spent in talk on the deck
For the sunny hours
In the grey mists of parting . . .
Rest in peace, Michael.

Susan, my condolences on your loss, may his memory be a blessing.
I was 17 when I met Mike, he wrote me my first ever LoC [a kind, encouraging one], he was at my first con [Torque 3], at my first British con [Silicon, Newcastle, '85], and I can't imagine fandom without him.
