“Quelle tristesse d'apprendre le départ de Michel! Quand il est arrivé au BSJP, il nous avait époustouflés par sa bonhomie, sa gentillesse et bien sûr, ses histoires intéressantes. J'offre mes sympathies à sa grande famille et surtout à sa femme bien-aimée et à son fils chéri, dont il vantait les exploits. Merci pour tout ce que tu nous as donné, Michel, Je te garde dans mon coeur... de Paulette Nous ne t'oublions pas, cher Michel, tu nous as marqués avec ta grande personnalité!”

“I had the privilege of working with Michel both at the Office of the Judge Advocate General and The Department of Veterans Affairs. He frequently spoke of his family and would show photographs that he had carefully placed in his wallet. With love and pride in his voice he would excitedly point at the photos and talk about a recent family event. I remember his generosity of spirit, fellowship and friendly manner. I offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends.”

“J’offre mes sincères condoléances à la famille et aux amis de Michel. Avec lui j’ai couru des centaines de kilomètres, voyagé, travaillé, bu des barils de vin rouge, pleuré de rire et vécu des moments inoubliables. Sa vie fut une extraordinaire aventure. Michel dissimulait son étonnante profondeur intellectuelle et spiritualité sous des allures de légèreté. J'espère qu'il a suivi la lumière qu’il comptait voir à son dernier soupir et retrouvé ceux qu’il aimait. À la prochaine mon ami.”

Robert Rooney wrote a sympathy message

“The grief of loss felt by Michel’s family is echoed by his many friends. I say “friends” because all his colleagues became friends moments after meeting him. A gentleman of great humour and love. I first met Michel at a JAG conference in Ottawa and after a few hours felt as if we had grown up together. I echo the sentiments written here by Jean, Andrew, and Luc. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember him.”

“Mes sincère condoléances à sa famille immédiate, et élargie. Michel était un bon vivant, un gars toujours de bonne humeur avec des plans plein la tête et de l'énergie à revendre, sans oublier un collègue exceptionnel. Odette et moi garderons toujours un excellent souvenir de Michel. Repose en paix mon ami.”
