I had the opportunity to work with Mike for a short period of time. He was a wonderful mentor. He was so proud of his daughters and his eyes would fill with sparkle when he spoke of them. Chrissy he was crazy about you and I recall our evening spent at Buddy Guy this past April - the next day Mike was full of life and he truly enjoyed the concert. Take his love and strength with you all.

~ Darlene Cameron

Being a backcatcher for a couple teams over the last number of years I clearly remember joking around many times with Mike. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

~ Erin

Elanor, Steve & Mark, our thoughts and sympathies are with you at this sad time, especially to Mike's fiance and children. It has been some time since we have seen Mike, but our hearts are still heavy (cousins of Mike').

I had the honour of knowing Mike for 20+ years now first through baseball and the last 15 years working with him. He was an amazing colleague and friend and my deepest thoughts and prayers are with Meghan, Melissa and Chrissy during this time. May you always feel his arms around you with the love he had for all of you. I will forever be grateful to have known Mike and I will always remember our chats. Rest in the sweetest peace Mike until we all meet again.

~ Sarah Collins

Chrissy, Meghan, Melissa and the rest of the extended family. We try our best to say goodbye and remember the man for what he was. He was pillar of strength, perhaps the man I knew with the most integrity. We know it was hard for him to relax but I am honoured to have known him as a friend. Few knew how generous he was or how happy he could be. Definitely a very proud father and a loving man. Bye G, we miss you.

~ Brian Herschell

a true blue friend for over 30 years. Great man and a loving father of 2 beautiful daughters Megan & Melissa. Chrissy our hearts are with you Steve, Mark and family. We all are so sad. I will always remember my buddy Mike. A great man indeed.

~ Peter & Kelly Coley

My heart goes out to Mikes Family and Friends...Over the years my hours spent with Mike in my Tattoo chair were always a treat...two old guys ranting about ..."what has this world come to"... and laughing the whole time....I'll miss his great laugh and that real handshake. Much Love, A
