Bernhard "Mike" Tillou

Mike, We met briefly at many functions and I remember your wonderful sense of humour. I've never laughed so much as I have in your presence. I shall alway recall your zest and enthusiasm of living life to the fullest. May we all meet again one day.
Love, Linda & Gordon Jamieson

Mike, we will never forget all the crazy & fun times we've all had together over many years. Your love and humor will be missed as well as the many times that you've tried to feel me up in public! What the world needs is more humor. Fumio and I will forever remember you in our hearts and laughter. Rest in peace my friend.xoxoxoxo

Mike touched the lives of many, many people with his gentle heart, sense of humor, glowing smile, and charm.

Most especially by your family and dearest friends. You will be forever in our hearts and make us smile as we recall all of the very fond memories and reminisce about all the good times, laughter, and...

You were a true "classic" who made everyone in your presence smile. Rest in peace.

To Family and Friends of Mike:

I am very sorry for your loss. I went to school with just about all of the Tillou's from my generation, and I thought it was so great that they had so many cousins, all in the same town. I remember Mike from when I was about 12 years old. My sisters went to school with him, and they always had funny stories to tell about times they spent in his company.

Mike,
Life is so bittersweet. Our lives will from now on be changed because a part of us has passed with you. You are a kind and beautiful person and we will miss you until we meet in heaven. We love you.

To the Tillou Family:
The honor Mike displayed in his unselfish time he spent at ground zero after 9/11 has brought tears to my eyes often. I pray that Mike be at the Lord's table helping all in heaven to share his everpresent smile. May peace be with all of you .

My friend: I'm so glad you were here in this life, with all of us. I don't believe in coincidences--I believe we got to have you in our lives because we needed you, and you needed us, and it was good, really good and in the blink of an eye we'll all be together again, and it will be even better. God Bless You.
