Michael RAGONA

Michael, You are so missed. Rest in Peace my friend!

In the eighties Michael and I were on the Executive of the Canadian-Italian Business and Professional Association of B.C. and it was a pleasure to work with him. I was very sorry to learn of his passing and I wish to extend to his entire family my most heartfelt condolences hoping that the memories he left will be of comfort to all those who loved him.

Michael was a great social companion. I recall visiting Tollum, Temple of Dawn, in Mexico with him at 5 am! I will miss him greatly. Condolences to his family.

MPR - to have been your "right hand" for 14 years was my very good fortune. The world is less bright without your smile, laughter and whistling (especially the Xmas tunes in July). Sincerest condolences to the "girls" and all who loved him.

May you Rest in Peace Mike. My sincere condolence and Prayers for your grieving Family. Mieleen King Coldstream, B.C.

My condolences for your loss. He was such a wonderful man and always brought a smile to my face.

Mr. Ragona, you will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to your family. God bless MPR.

It was with great sadness I learned of Michael's sudden passisng. He was a barrister widely recognized for his great talent in the courtroom.
I am proud to say I knew him as a fierce and skilled advocate, as wonderful co-counsel and as a friend.
His quick wit and great sense of humour will be missed by us all.
My sincere condolences to his family and those that loved him.

Mikey....you'll be missed. Your humour, your wit, your compassion and understanding, your intellect, and generosity all made you one of a kind. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your world for the last 25 plus years.. It's been an honour to know you.
To " my girls"' (as he often referred to you collectively)' your father was very proud of all of you, your accomplishments., and loved you
all dearly. To you my heartfelt condolences, and may your memories of him always be fond.

You are missed Michael. Leave the light on, we'll be by.

Very shocked and saddened to hear of Michael's passing. We just spoke last month. Michael was a pleasure to work with. Always so professional and had a wonderful sense of humor. Always "Michael", never "Mike".
You will be missed.

Time spent discussing our mutual love of cooking and our Italian background, as well as the interesting work we shared will be fondly remembered. Rest in peace Michael. My condolences to the family.

Whenever we saw each other at events you always reminded me of our shared birthday. You were one of founders of such a respected firm and you will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to your family. Thank you for the lamb dinners....God bless your loved ones and rest in peace MPR.

Michael you were truly a character and full of life! Ei am grateful to have known you, worked on cases together and Ei will miss you dearly.
God bless my dear friend.

I am proud to have been associated with Michael for nearly 20 years. First, as an articled student that seemed like yesterday, then as his law partner that seemed like a millennium ago.

Much can be said of this fierce barrister and warrior who was always all business in the courtroom, but my finest memory of Michael was one day when Sue brought their three red headed darlings in crimson red cloaks to court to watch daddy in action. For just a moment, the frantic pace of the jury trial seemed to slow and life was in perspective.

I think it is telling that of the many brilliant cross examinations I have seen him conduct, that this moment would be the one I would choose as the finest to remember him by.

You left us too soon boss, and you will be sorely missed.

My thoughts and prayers to the family during this difficult time. Michael was a lovely man, Rest In Peace

Michael, I still remember with fondness dragging you to a karaoke bar in 1988. You were a fun fellow to be with, an honourable adversary and a true gentleman. You will be missed.

My deepest condolences to your family, especially your children. Our lives are all greatly enriched having crossed paths. So many great memories and laughs to remember you while I was your assistant! My favourite boss; you will be missed very much.

Celebrating a life well lived. I will always cherish the memories of working with MPR at AHBL.

Grand Master, I miss you. I am so fortunate to have had you in my life. You were the classiest guy I ever met. A true gentleman. I will cherish the moments we spent over the last 15 years.

Rest In Peace My Friend

I know that you will watch over all of us from your position, it may not be the restaurant, but you still will be there for all of us. Till we meet again.

I will always remember MPR with fondness. I enjoyed working with him while I was at AHBL and especially enjoyed the department dinners he hosted with the lamb shank dinners. My condolences to the children he's left behind.
