He was a great man that helped all the new lawyers. Always a class act.

Mike as he was popularly called by friends and colleagues was a wonderful person. I am very sad at his passing away. He was always willing to help others and would do more than expectation to help fellow lawyers. For me it is loss of a personal friend, mentor and guide. He will be missed for a long time by his friends and colleagues. May God grant peace to his soul and corage to family to bear the loss.

I am so sorry to hear if Mike´s passing. He was always a kind and gentle soul. I can´t imagine his face without that huge smile that he gave to everyone who came across his path. Rest in Peace, Mike. You have earned it.

When I think of Mike a smile comes to my face - Mike was a great guy - smart, humble, generous, funny - he and Kathy were a great team - nice that they will be together again

Mike was a prince of a guy. I met him soon after I moved to St. Catharines in 1990 and he was always a pleasure to work with or just sit down and have a coffee (or something stronger) with. Mike was a story teller, a musician, a husband and a father. By all accounts he was good at all of these things. He is someone who will truly be missed.

An extremely decent person. Always had time for others. Always had an encouraging word. Quick with a joke. He is missed.

A great man who will be sadly missed. Michael was a true professional who served his clients and the public well. He will be fondly remembered walking the halls of the courthouse, jovial and joking. Rest in piece, Michael.
