    Nov.13 2013 Very saddened to hear of Mikes sudden passing. A true friend, who always put others needs before his own. His love for his children and family was beyond reproach. In 30+ years of knowing Mike, he always possesed a positive attitude and a genuine like of all he met, a rare trait indeed.
    Gone, but not forgotten, peace will be his with the “spirit in the sky” Miss you “Mazolla”

  • Susan Andrew says:

    I was so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I have many great memories of times long ago here in Banff. My sincerest thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

  • Helena Waye says:

    To Marg, Darlene, Kathy, Brian, Greg, Patsy, Billy and families, and to Michael’s children and friends in Kelowna,
    Our thoughts and prayers have been with you since we have learned of Mike’s passing. The image of his beautiful face has been with me daily. The charisma he held with his beautiful smile and dancing eyes made you want to be in his presence. Although we have not seen Mike for many years, as we lived on opposite coasts, we remember him like it was yesterday as we played together during summer vacations and our visits together as young adults. We so enjoyed our times together. His passing leaves us with heavy hearts but also with the sense of peace that he is with those we love who have gone before us. I smile as I think of them being reunited, perhaps over a game of 45’s.
    We love you Mike
    Helena

    Love you all Gerry, Teresa & Cole Tremblay xoxo
