Michael CARTWRIGHT

Professor Michael Trevor Cartwright was ‘Uncle Mike' to me and my own brother Michael. Mike moved to North America in 1964. One of his first trips back to England was 2 years later when I was christened and Uncle Mike became my godfather. Mike always remembered birthdays and Christmas with thoughtful greeting cards often accompanied by unusual gifts. Mike took a great interest in our young lives and would send gifts which encouraged us to explore and learn about other cultures beyond our...

Many fond memories of Michael staying with us in Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland. He just loved the place, and we loved having him here. We won't be able to get over for the memorial service, but we send our love and thoughts to all Michael's family and friends. With fond and happy memories... Fraser & Colin, Orkney.

A memorial service will be held on the McGill campus, Birks Chapel, 3520 University Street, Montreal, on Sunday, May 4 at 2pm. All are welcome.

A chance meeting with Michael in Geneva, Switzerland in 1974. He the eminent Professor,busy with work,me on factory Summer leave.So began years of correspondence,he always had interesting stories and news to share.He was a humble man,a dear friend.May his lovely soul be at rest.

I knew Michael as Mr. Cartwright. He was a long time member of the Downtown YMCA. I worked there for many years and loved talking to him. We always chatted and I loved those conversations. I did not know he had passed until I read the notice today. I actually saw someone on the street today that made me think of Michael. I guess he was saying hello from heaven.

Michael was a dear friend of mine in the early part of the 1970's. I will always cherish his memory, his warmth and intelligence.
