Wow, I didn't know Mike had died in July, reading the obituary now.
Unbelievable. Spoke to him not long ago at MUUG/MWCS, he seemed to be a
fun, nerdy person like most of us, but according to his page he was
suffering from long-term health issues? After a few discussions I did seem
to detect he was low on enthusiam/direction in his life but didn't know he
had health concerns which I imagine contributed if not lead to his death.
So unfortunate.

His extensive personal page lives on for now (assumedly under his parents'
Shaw account): http://members.shaw.ca/pfaiffer/mike.html
