I was very sad to hear of Michael's passing. Michael and I worked together for a number of years on a daily basis and I can say that you would have been hard pressed to meet a better person. He was a humble man. He was a talented carpenter and had great knowledge on a number of crafts. A man of integrity, kindness. I pray that Gwendolyn and family are comforted by memories and experiences shared. May you fine peace and strength as you move through this difficult time. Rest in peace Michael......gone, but not forgotten.
