Passed away peacefully, at home in Bowmanville, on December 14, 2023, at the age of 86.

Survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Rose (nee Stewart); and devoted children: Lynn (Peter), Scott, Glen, and Grant (Tracy); as well as adoring grandchildren: Michael (Tamar), Elizabeth, Aidan, and Riley.

He lived his life with compassion for others, unwavering strength for his family and the ability to brighten your darkest day through his wit and an infectious smile.

He will be missed by many. A private family interment is planned.

A celebration of Michael's life will be held at a later date.

If desired, as an expression of sympathy, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
