I would like to offer my family's deepest sympathy to Carol and her family. I will always remember Mike for his sense of humour, for the friendship we shared and his quick wit. I first met Mike in graduate studies and we shared some interesting times and adventures together. I also worked with him for many years at the HSC, and he was the type of individual that made the working environment an interesting and fun place to spend your days. Mike never lost his interest in Clinical Chemistry. Mike, it was a real pleasure knowing you. - Posted by: Paul Desjardins (Friend) on: Dec 01, 2009
