Body

Mike died of bladder cancer Aug. 21, 2013, in his native Montreal, where he lived for most of his adult life.

He came to us from Bishop’s College School in Lennoxville, Quebec. At Princeton he majored in English, writing his senior thesis on George Bernard Shaw. He took his meals at Charter Club, played intramural hockey, and was involved in photography with the Prince, the Bric-a-Brac, and the Tiger. His senior-year roommates were George Ellsworth, Bill Roper, and Hank Walter.

Mike had a long and satisfying career with the Bank of Montreal. His avocational interests included Bishop’s College School, the Molson Foundation, Montreal General Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Health Complex, and, especially, the Atlantic Salmon Foundation. He was active in the Montreal Racket Club and supported Princeton in many ways in the Montreal area.

After retiring in 2005, Mike spent many happy days with his family and friends on the Maine coast and in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. He is survived by his wife, Ann; children Paul, Louisa ’89, and Kate; and four grandchildren. With them, we bid Mike a fond farewell.
