He enjoyed talking sports with Greg and sharing opinions on players whether it was hockey or baseball.   He enjoyed a good party and loved to meet  new people.   Our sincere condolences to his family.

I enjoyed visiting and chatting with Mike and Frances a few summers ago when they were tenting at Brenda and Sauli's and doing the tourist thing on Manitoulin.  
Let your memories comfort you and give you strength during this most difficult time. 
Our heartfelt condolences from the Maki Family to Mike's Family.

Dear Frances , Joanne and Michael's family  

Although we knew this time would eventually come and have spoken several times over the past few months, words cannot do justice to console the heartache that you must be experiencing.  I know that Michael loved you so dearly. My heart hurts to have lost such a close friend at such a young age.  To Mike ..... we shared many fun times over the years , be it on the golf course, on the water fishing or simply cooking and listening to music while enjoying a glass of wine. You were like a brother to me and I will forever cherish those special times we had together. I could not be more proud of the dignified manner in which you handled your illness putting your loved ones ahead of yourself.  

Love Always

Peter

I'll always remember your music, stereo, guitars... Heaven has a new band member. RIP Dear Brother In-Law...

Frances, Jo anne and family,
I worked with Mike at Oak Ridges Public School. I will always remember our conversations after the kids had gone home and the school was quiet. Most of our conversations revolved around looking forward to the weekends and hobbies we would enjoy when not at work. So many times, Mike would talk about you Frances and he would just beam with pride and radiate love. You were his world and everything you did made him so proud of you. I will always remember his smile and how important he felt to find balance in life between work and play. As a young teacher, he taught me many lessons on how it is the ones we love and the things we love to do with them that make life worth living. He enjoyed the simple things in life as do I. Jo anne, when you came into his life, you could see the happiness you brought to him. He was a changed man by your love and support and there was always a bounce in his step after he met you.
Wishing you all love and positive thoughts during this time. It is never easy and the pain doesn't go away, but eventually, it does hurt a little less.  Keep your wonderful memories of him close to your heart and one day, those memories, those places, those smells, that remind you of Mike will bring a smile to your face again and know that  he is there, sharing those memories with you. 

"Being my Godbrother, I was so blessed , love and many prayers to your Soul Mate Joanne, and your beautiful daughter , Francis, will miss you every day forever, till we meet again" xoxoxo  Kathy xo

It was a great honour to care for Michael at Margaret Bahen Hospice. On behalf of the entire MB Hospice family please accept our heartfelt condolences on your great loss.

I was so sad to hear the news of Mike's passing. Mike and I spent time together a number of years ago on the golf course where we  enjoyed meeting on Monday afternoons in the summer to play golf at the Richmond Hill Golf Club in the Men's League.  I always enjoyed being around him as we would try and improve our golf games and have a lot of laughs doing it.  I always enjoyed my time with him and it was a pleasure knowing him. My deepest condolences to  his daughter Frances as he spoke of her often to me with  a profound sense of pride.  
My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time as Mike has left us much too soon.

It is always so sad when I hear of one of our 7th avenue, Lively, family passing away. Michael was taken away way too soon.  Hearing his name brought back so many memories  of the fun times our families spent together. Know that our thoughts (and those of all of the Murphy family) are with you all at this difficult time. 
Sending our sincerest condolences
Marilyn and Boyne

A  TRUE FRIEND. Our time together and all the memories will be always be held close to my heart. Mike has touched the hearts of many and his love for others will be missed. My deepest  condolences to his family . 

Well Mike it was a ride, sorry the ride at the end was so tough on you buddy.  Having said that you hung tough for the ride with a great spirit and resilience many couldn't be able to match.  My thoughts are with your daughter and family.  Rest in peace my friend.
JK
