this link to read Mike’s own touching account of his life adventures.
The family extends a very special thank you to Mike's many devoted caregivers, especially Marion Finos (for 23 years), Butsaba Chansuwan (for 7 years), mother-in-law, Elaine Lippert, and Aunt Kate Hunter. Deepest gratitude is also extended to the VON nurses, doctors and nurses of Wingham and District Hospital and University Hospital in London, as well as Bruce County EMS, South Bruce OPP, and the Ripley Volunteer Fire Department. We can never fully express our gratitude for your expertise, professionalism, and diligent care.
In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the Ontario Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (OPWSA) in honour of Mike’s niece, Kloe; the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada in honour of his mom, Helen; the Alzheimer Society of Canada in honour of his stepmother, Antje; or the Pine River United Church, a faith community very close to Mike’s heart.
