Michael MAHER Obituary

Dr. MICHAEL L. J. MAHER MIEI, Ph.D., PEng, CEng, Eur Ing Michael passed away on November 19, 2022 at his home in Brooklin, Ontario. After taking a first in his undergraduate degree in Trinity College, Dublin, he went on to complete his Ph.D., also at Trinity, before coming to Canada. He had great regard for his colleagues and proteges at Golder Associates where he was employed for over forty years. He appreciated the wide range of projects in which he was involved, travelling the world to accomplish them and enjoyed the people with whom he worked. He was on the board of the Canadian Council of Independent Laboratories and supported their important work for many years. He rowed while at university in Ireland and attained level three coaching certification while working with local rowing clubs in Newfoundland and Ontario, coaching teams for the Canada Games and the Ontario Games. He was especially proud to be involved with the building of the Durham Rowing Club and boathouse in Port Perry, Ontario. His kindness will be missed by brothers, Noel (Ireland) and Jim (New Zealand); by sisters, Maeve, Deirdre and Fionnuala (Ireland); his in-laws, nieces and nephews; and wife, Marilyn. A celebration of Michael's life will be held in the spring of 2023. Many thanks to the staff at Lakeridge Health in Port Perry and the Oshawa Cancer Center. Special thanks to nurses Naomi, Roy and Natasha at Paramed.

Dear Marilyn and family,
I am so sad to learn of Michael's passing this morning. I had the opportunity to work with Michael on several projects when I was with Golder, as well as other projects after I left Golder and required his thoughtful advice. In addition to being very clever, he was caring and a true gentleman. He touched my life and I am sure many others. My sincerest condolences to you and the many people that Michael touched. God Bless and Rest In Peace Michael. Richard Stahl

I am really sad to hear that Michael passed away. I have very fond memories of Michael whilst we were both doing our PhD on road pavement design in Trinity and I respected his intellect. May he rest in peace. Eric R Farrell

My condolences to Michael's family. I have known Michael for a number of years through business. He would always take the time to meet with myself and colleagues and was a first class gentleman. We were always invited by Michael to attend a Golder sponsored luncheon at the TAC conferences. Prayers for Michael from all CSPI members.
