I appreciate all you did for me when my dad was on your floor Beth. It was so nice to see you also.

Mike was one of the greatest people I have ever known. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years at St. John's -Psych. He went way beyond the call of duty. I will always remember the many kind acts he showed towards patients and staff. When I worked with Mike, I always said I had the "dream team." I'm sure there is a very special place for him up above.

To the Family of Mike
I worked with Mike so many years ago when he worked at Roosevelt Square, and he certainly made an impact in my life at that time. He was one who caring and considerate to everyone he met and he was an excellent nurse. The resident's loved him. So sorry to hear about him leaving this world.

My sister, Dana, and I are sorrowed at your loss. Mike was a beautiful person. His humour, his kindness and his passion made lasting memories to anyone who knew him closely or by aquaintance. I will treasure my memories of him always.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."
