MICHAEL HANNESSON, BComm., C.A. It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the sudden passing of Michael Carl Paul Hannesson on May 15, 2008. He will be sorely missed by his wife and soul mate Myke (Meredith), adoring daughters Laura and Signi, stellar son-in-law Jason (Michael's words) and beautiful, precious granddaughter Hanna. He will also be missed by many extended family members and friends who were included in the family circle. Michael's career was vast and varied and we know that many will miss the banter for which he was known - not to mention the hard questions. He considered himself semi-retired (not necessarily true), as he never turned down a chance to mentor and advise young people on their career paths and education. As always he continued to travel, as long as he could access his e-mail, a courier service and telephone, but of course with a hammock and beach nearby. We will celebrate Michael's life on May 27 at the Beach Grove Golf Course in Tsawwassen, BC from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., children are welcome. Out of town guests please contact the family for arranged accommodation. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Micky Hannesson Scholarship Fund at www.wpgfdn.org.
