Michael LENHOFF Obituary

To his family and friends, Michael Felix Lenhoff was a kind man, a calm man, a caring man, intelligent, genuine and modest. He passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 1, 2024, in London, UK, with Alzheimer's. He is survived in the UK by his wife Gay of 45 years and his daughter Mattea, his granddaughter Mia; in Canada, his mother Hana Lenhoff, his sisters Kathy and Lexie, his brother- in- law Ron Base and his nephew Jonathan. His daughter, Mattea, describes her father as a man of great character, and fun to be around, full of laughter, a 'cool' dad. Michael achieved much in his life, obtaining his Ph.D. in Economics, from the London School of Economics, working in the City in London, as the Head Research Director and Chief Strategist for a major investment firm, a frequent contributor to market news segments on the BBC and other TV stations. He was an accomplished saxophone player, an adventurer traveling to distant lands with family, an artist, a tango dancer, a lover of fine food and wines, especially Argentinian Malbec. A funeral and burial service were held for Michael, attended by family and friends in the UK at the Hoop Lane Cemetery in London Sunday, August 4th.

Mike was first boss at Brewin Dolphin. He saved my career after being unemployed or 3 years. I think we had about 8 years together and helped shape into an investment analyst having previously been an investment managers. We had many business trips together and some brilliant team lunches. I am so grateful he gives me a chance and it is not an exaggeration to say that I owe my current lifestyle to him. I am also grateful the he and Gay came to my wedding in August 2011 in Hampshire.
Thank you Mike

Hana, Gay, Mattea, Kathy, Lexie. On opening this weekend's Globe and Mail, I was startled to see Michael's obituary. My saddness over his passing is gradually being tempered by my fond recollection of our many years as friends and students during high school and university. We shared many happy, exciting, energetic and challenging experiences as we morphed from our teenage years into adulthood. The memories of this phase of our lives will forever be precious to me.
I wish to express my deepest condolences to all of you. May God bless you during this difficult time. Michael will always be with me in spirit. Take care.
