Rena:
we are so sad at this terrible news. Mike was always there to help with a leaky water hose or with words of wisdom. He loved to try to get us to drink Grappa. We will miss him at the trailer. We will miss seeing him and his wagon heading down to the river. Please know that we are there to support you. We will always remember Mike with a smile. Terry and Peter from Cedar Valley

Hey Mike, you left us so soon. We will miss you and we will remember the many ways you touched our lives. You made our lives richer and fuller. Now that you're gone, there is emptiness and pain, confusion and some anger of your passing so young.
In many ways, you are still with us.
You live on in our memories and stories, and in what all of us have become because of you.
We are now encouraged to share - today, tomorrow and the years to come - your memories and stories
and to share the pain of your loss as well. We will keep you with us.

Very sad to hear about Mike's passing. Mike never coached my son but I knew him through the Applewood Association. He always had a kind smile and a story to tell. He was a good man.

Dear Renata, It is heartbreaking to hear the shocking and sad news of Mike's untimely passing. Please know that I grieve with you, your children and grandchildren, as well as my dear Aunt Anna, my cousins, Tony and Frank, and the entire family. I offer you my condolences and prayers for such a devastating loss. My memories of my wonderful cousin are filled with laughter, joy and delight. In one of my favourite photos, Mike plays at balancing two of his cousins on his shoulders. His playful smile goes on forever. I like to think that his beautiful spirit will continue to hold us up. May the good Lord keep Mike in His tender and loving embrace. Love always,
Tony Labriola and Family
