Remarks from Mike’s Associates
“I was overcome with job anxiety one morning, just before moving to the digital team, and had just spent another restless night with a two-month-old and a toddler. I looked and felt like the abyss. Mike asked me how I was doing when he saw me in the Bistro, and not in the oblique manner that we all ask each other hundreds of times a day. He was really curious to know. I informed him as a result, and after listening and showing empathy, he said: “Mate, you’re really going through it.”” – Murray Nicol,MBA
“Mike, you are on to your next great adventure somewhere in the universe. Working with you was always invigorating and challenging… no time to rest on one’s laurels! You are a force of nature, even though you are no longer among us. You will be talked about over drinks and in front of winter fires for years, never forgotten by those who knew you” -Janet Hill
