He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Leanne, who cared for him until the end, his children Caitlin, Cameron (Alicia), Alison (Francis), the apple of his eye his grandson River, his 2 dogs, Stevie and Dallee, and sisters, Carol, Teresa, and Florence, and many loving nieces and nephews.
Youngest of seven and born in Charlottetown, PEI, he grew up in Cabbagetown, Toronto. Michael was an athlete, avid learner, hard worker, tinkerer, and first and foremost a family man and friend. He was a protector and provider who was always polite, popular and positive and loved to dance. They built their dream house by the lake where Michael loved to drive his boat, play cards, and putter around fixing things. A respected, generous and gentle man, loved by all who knew him, Michael leaves his family and friends with many wonderful memories and was a true example of how to be gracious and kind to the end.
