To the MacKinnon family, I would like to express my sincere condolence on Mike's passing. I worked under Mike for TIW and he was a true gentleman to work for. We often shared our memories of working in Nova Scotia and laughed at those fun times in past days when both of us worked in Cape Breton. I wish the best for his family and hope that all will be well. Stay safe Mike you taught me lots.
