Michael Case Obituary
1948 - 2023
With great sadness, we say goodbye to our dad, Michael Stephen Case, at the age of 75. His passing was unexpected but peaceful, surrounded by family.
Michael was born 7 minutes ahead of his twin, Vincent, in Klamath Falls, Oregon. He is predeceased by father Bill, mother Rita and brother Vince, whom he missed dearly.
Family was everything to dad. Mourning his loss are his children, Vince (Jennifer), Melissa (Kelly) and Shelley (Pierre); his siblings Theresa (John), Jack (Mary), and Glo (Gene); his grandchildren Tiernan, Sarah and Keaton; his nieces and nephews Stephen, David, John, Jen, Sarah, Mikey, Chris, Genie, Rita, Bruce and Brian; and his sweetie, Lynn. Being a descendant of the Clarkson clan, he has countless aunts, uncles and cousins he adored.
To know him was to laugh. Michael was loved by everyone he met and always had a story to share. If you have tales of Michael, or any of his shenanigans, please come share them with us at his Celebration of Life at 2pm, Saturday, March 25, 2023 in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Dr, Victoria, BC. In lieu of flowers, please donate in his memory, to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation at https://www.victoriahf.ca/donate/ The funds go toward vital lifesaving equipment for the Cardiac Care Unit and the ICU, where they expertly and compassionately cared for dad, and his family, in his last days.
Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallgardens.com

I have happy memories of taking the ferry to Victoria and visiting Michael's antique store on Fort Street where I bought some of my very first fountain pens from him (still have them!). When he found out that my pen friend learned pen repair from the same English gentleman that taught Michael, he showed me his pen repair workshop at the store, and then proudly brought out his magnificent vintage Waterman red ripple hard rubber fountain pen desk set that Queen Elizabeth II used to sign a document while visiting Victoria. I hadn't seen Michael for a few years and then one day, he mentioned that he would be coming to Vancouver and asked if he could attend one of our pen club (the Vancouver Pen Club) meetings and I said "Of course!". It was great to see him again at the meeting, as well as at a local antique show (where I bought more really nice fountain pens from him). Michael always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye when he talked about fountain pens. He was a talented pen repairman (whose prices were always very fair) and a really nice guy. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Michael's family and friends on his passing.

What a shocking news this morning when I learned this from our fountain pen community! I only began to seek for a few consultation from Michael about a couple of my Parker fountain pens early this year in February. All the sudden in August, he found an élysée (my favour brand as being expressed thorough our Canadian fountain pen Facebook group) Display Cardboard from his antique store and he thought of me immediately and asked if I liked it. I was thrilled & Excited, and certainly said yes!
So he just shipped it to me without accepting anything in return, not even the postage! The cardboard as shown from his desk, might not be worthy of any money, but the kindness of his which I was truly & totally touched. Now I would never have the chance to return him a favour... What a wonderful person with such a kind heart, and I always liked his sharing of the bird photos! Bet he's a bird lover.
Michael had to have a good soul, even I didn't know him well but I can say that. Michael will certainly be missed by the fountain pen communities here. My sincere condolences to his families. Goodbye to my respectful friend. May your soul rest in peace now. God bless.

I was saddened to read of Mike's passing, my condolences to his Family. I had the pleasure of playing football with both Mike and Vince back in the mid-sixties and remember what a couple of characters they were. Pete Flucker, former teammate.

I was a teacher at St. Louis College in Victoria when Mike and Vincent were students there. I remember Mike as being energetic kid with a quick wit and a nice smile. John, his uncle, was principal at the time and we were all good friends.
Sincerely, Brother Tony Cannon, CFC
