I only found out today about Michael's death. I can't really believe it, he was such a solid, whole, hale, passionate person, like he'd live to be 100. I taught him piano, along with Alex and Simon, back in the 90s. Fifteen years later, he most kindly agreed to be my trauma therapist, even though he was nearing retirement -- he knew I had nowhere else to turn, and that is what he was like, exactly. I've since left the province, and today when I tried to contact him to tell him I'm graduating this spring as an art therapist -- in large part because of our work together on my own trauma -- I found out he was gone. Polly -- I was in your office every week for five years -- I am so sorry for your loss. He will be so missed.

Polly,
I was crushed to hear of Dr. Eden-Walker's sudden passing in January. I think about him and your family often. I feel such sorrow for your loss of a partner just as your retirement began. I think about all those balls left in the cart, never to find the sand pile. He was so excited about his future. I was sad to lose him as a doctor after 22 years, but he truly deserved to let go and be just Michael. This is your first Christmas without your soulmate. I will pray for you everyday throughout Advent and light the candles for you both (I think Michael would shrug at that... we had many conversations about God). He was so laid back, real, open, kind- he was one of a kind. This shouldn't have been the way; you were all cheated and I can't stop feeling your loss, and his. May God be with you.

Dear Polly and Family, We are so sorry to hear of Dr. Eden-Walker's passing. He helped me with everything I needed at the Med-Team Clinic when my family physician was not available and when I was sick. Michael was a very nice man and a great doctor. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss him a lot at the Med-Team Clinic.

Hello. I am honoured to have known Michael as a friend and colleague. I worked alongside him for many years, and must say, he was one laid back dude. He and Polly were the heart and soul of their fifth child, Med-Team Clinic.
When I heard he had died, I didn't really believe it had happened, it couldn't have. He was always there, a fixture in our lives.
Monica and I give our love to your family. I apologize for not writing sooner. I did not know about this feature, writing a note for the Eden-Walkers.
Michael was very special to me, and I can only hope to try to emulate some of his spirit in my approach to medicine and as he said, "life's rich pageant".

When i was in my early teenage years i was having a lot of problems . I was very depressed and angry and had lots of issues to deal with .not only did DR walker get me the help i needed by sending me to the proper specialist , he also took the time to talk with me and become my friend .he would always call to check up on me to see how i was doing even with his extremly busy schedule . Im now in my 30s and i can proudly say that dr walker changed my life . If it wasent for him i wouldent be the man i am today without a doubt.I feel like i never realy got to thank you for reaching out to me and giving me a friend when i needed one the most .Thank you from the bottom of my heart and may you rest in peace my friend i will never ever forget what you did for me . God bless you

I'm so sad to hear about Michael's passing. I always enjoyed playing golf with him, or just bumping into him. He had a terrific sense of humour, and a cheery demeanor. I saw him once as a patient, and I found he was a very caring doctor.

Dearest Polly and family: It was with tremendous sadness that Greg and I and our family learned of Michael's precipitous passing. For thirty years, you and Michael provided us with the platinum standard of care, accompanied by a smile and wonderful good humour. Michael was very dear to us.He was arguably the best diagnostician that we have ever encountered. We hope that you will find solace in your happiest memories of times spent together with Michael. We will cherish our memories of him and we will forever be joyous that we travelled in his orbit.
With great affection,
Dawn, Greg, Nicholas, Connor and Serena O'Brien

My deepest condolences to Polly,family and extended family at MedTeam. I am very saddened by his sudden passing. He touched so many lives with his caring and profound commitment to his patients and colleagues. He was the pioneer of MedTeam clinic. With Michael's guidance, many physicians had the opportunity to initiate and establish their practices. When asked, he freely gave sage advise. It is an honor to have worked with Michael. He will be remembered and missed.
