It was an honor to work with such a dedicated person. As a friend and co worker you were the best. To your children, may they know that you were the best and were so proud of them. [My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss]

As I read the remembrances from others, I had forgotten that Mike served in other communities. Like so many, I always considered that he was "our doctor." In addition to being caring and sensitive to his patients' needs, he had a wonderful sense of humour that helped us during stressful times.
For a short time I curled with Mike and during my retirement party, he entertained everyone by recounting a funny story about one of our games. I have kept that anecdote and read it from time to time. It never fails to make me laugh.
My condolences to his family and friends. I will never forget you Mike.

The day before I heard of Mike's sudden death, somehow, during a string of random thoughts, this picture appeared in my mind: I rememberd how he used to lightly pat your shoulder when seeing you off after the appointment, often accompanied by a humorous remark. I could almost feel it, the caring warmth of his gesture. The picture stuck with me for a while and made me smile... So long, Mike, and thank you!

I can honestly say Dr. Mike was the best at what he did. He did the extra things that made all the difference. He is sadly missed.

In the very short time that our paths crossed in Hudson's Hope , Mike saved my life. How do you thank someone for a selfless act of that magnitude? Then he was a fast friend too, asking who my former employer was . " then did you know my brother "? Naturally I had worked for him ...... small world . I thank God for his vigilant care, and friendship and will miss him.

Doc, you are the only doctor I've ever had who was also a friend. Everyone thinks they had a special relationship with you that others didn't. And that's what was so great about you...everyone did. I wish we could have arranged that curling game in Februrary, but at least I got to hear your voice one last time. Just like thousands of others...I will not forget you.

When a personal friend of mine (Debbie T.) called to inform me of Mike's death my heart was overwhelmed with grief & sadness for his family, friends, co-workers and the many people he touched during his short lifespan.
I echo with the other entries: about his genuine caring personality, his loving ways...his sweet, shy smile...he had a deep connection with many.
And of course you couldn't ask for a better family physician.
His passing shook me to the core and reinforced the brevity of life.
Mike will be greatly missed and my prayers are with his family & children.
Until we see each other again in eternity... Au revoir and God bless. From an old friend & former patient in Prince Rupert, BC.

I did not get to meet Dr. McLean while he was with Nisgaa Valley Health Authority. From what I have read and heard, Dr. McLean was a very caring person and well respected by all that he touched. I am quite sure that he is at peace with God today. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

I would like to say how sorry I was to hear of Dr. P M Mclean passing. My family were patients of his in the early 80's till he moved away from Victiora. He was a very kind and understanding and caring Doctor. My thoughts are with the family.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mike since the early '70s and attribute the fact that I am still here to his amazing care. May the family find comfort in the fact that so very many people thought the world of him.
