I've known Mike since 1982, for 23 years when we worked together in the Prairie Weather Centre, and for 17 years after his retirement in 2005. He was a dedicated meteorologist and a very good supervisor who helped many weather forecasters improve their skills over the years. But he was also very sociable and cheerful, and a great storyteller who would regale us with stories of his experiences from earlier times. He had a sharp sense of humour and didn't suffer fools easily. "The finest equipment in all the world cannot measure the infinitesimal degree that I care" about this or that issue. I'll miss his camaraderie while making perogies at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and I'll miss his everchanging wardrobe of Judge Judy T-shirts. With sincere condolences, David Patrick
