To the Ginns,

My deepest condolences. May you treasure forever the bonds you shared with Micheal in your hearts. I've known Micheal for many years as his co-worker. Although we didn't spend time to get to truly know one another, he is truly missed.

Rest in Peace and may you look down upon your family and friends from above.

My condolences go to the family of Michael Ginn. I was a co-worker of his at Shaw and knew him for about 5 years. During that time, I had the opportunity to chat with him usually at the beginning of his work shift. We would talk about everything from current events to vacation spots around the world. I will always remember Michael for his kindness and his willingness to help others. Rest in Peace my friend.
