Sadly I just learned of Michael's Passing and with I having a lasting business relationship with he being a very proud ammonia refrigeration mechanic for J.H. Lock Company out of Toronto, and which began in the 1960's, and with I being the Chief Engineer of the Green Giant Plant at Tecumseh, Ontario and he working on several refrigeration projects. Over the years and into our retirement we would correspond, his beloved spouse Mary writing on his behalf at Christmas time and I have retained all in my files, including the last which she sadly wrote, explaining in context that it was her last as she only had a short time and much appreciated the friendship extended to Michael over the years. Fortunately I had stopped at their home during one of my many business trips and had the pleasure of meeting her and the friendship did continue, first with Michael in his not so eloquent penmanship as Mary's then as his health declined just a simple card with his name scrawled on it.
