• I am saddened to hear about Michael’s passing. Michael was the first lawyer I worked for when I graduated from a legal assistant program. He always greeted me every morning with a smile. Michael and I shared a lot of laughs and inside jokes when we worked together. I remember giving him a signed 8 x 10 glossy of Beyoncé, who he was in love with and anyone who knew him knew that. He was so excited when he opened it up and saw it. I always felt so privileged to be his assistant. I was his assistant when he was President of the Manitoba Bar Association. He was so nervous on the night of his big reception. He had such a beautiful heart - kind - caring and treated a person with respect and dignity no matter who they were. When I had left the firm whenever I saw Michael he always greeted me with a warm hug and asked me what was new. I am at a loss and my heart feels so heavy right now. Michael was a beautiful shining star and his light has burned out far too soon. This isn’t goodbye - what I would say to Michael anytime we were leaving is I’ll see you soon - so I’ll see you soon Michael. I offer my condolences to his family and his partner 💜 - Posted by: Joanne Peters (Co-worker (former assistant)) on: Sep 02, 2020

• Mike will be missed by me and my father Glenn, and a countless number of friends and acquaintances of ours, I could go on for days about memories of good times w/Mike, but seeing as how this is for him I'll make it long story short, we offer our condolences and if any of his family or anyone else need assistance don't be afraid to contact me, for the final few years of his life Mike was nothing short of another type of father figure to me when my dad was in bad health and also when he was just recovering from cancer and that included weekly bringing me food for me my dad and his cats lol, but also bringing smokes and any other necessities or anything needed to feel better at the time, me and my dad will always consider him one of the family which is why in turn we returned all the kind gestures that he offered us but the best thing he might have done was save mine and my dad's relationship from collapsing permanently, any one have any questions feel free to email me austinmowat9393@gmail.com and if anyone has any info of his death or about any wake or funeral services please inform me asap, have a great day and Mike you will be missed, rest in peace brother. - Posted by: austin mowat (best friend (older street brother)) on: May 19, 2020

• I was a classmate of Mike’s at U of M law school. We kept in touch on and off over the years. My memories of him are that he was just so smart and beautiful. I think he was the youngest person in our law school class, or close to it. He seemed to have this light that just shone from within him. He was such a lovely person. I’m so deeply saddened by this news. My heartfelt condolences to all who loved him. - Posted by: Merrell-Ann S. Phare (Law school classmate ) on: May 15, 2020

• I am so deeply saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I worked with Mike in the '90s at Chapman's. Mike was compassionate about his work and I enjoyed working with him and especially enjoyed the social times away from work. In particular, I have fond memories of Mike and the Chapman Christmas gatherings. My deepest condolences to Mike's family and friends.

• My heartfelt sympathy to Craig and to all of Mike's family and friends. I have practiced law for many years. Mike and I were on opposite sides of some files over the years.
