Michael will be dearly missed by his best friend and beloved wife of 60 years, Tena; son Dennis Sidlar, and wife Linda; daughter, Debby Brown and husband Bill, and their two children Megan and Kevin; and many other family members and friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the St. Boniface General Hospital and Research Foundation, 409 Tache Ave., Rm. D1003, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6.
