There are no words. We have lost an amazing man. Mike was everything – mentor, confidant, activist, brother, friend. He was all of this to everyone. Like many people in the labour movement, Mike was why I got involved. He pushed me, he lifted me, and he cheered me every step of the way. So many of us are lost right now. I’m heartbroken. My sincerest condolences to his family, they have lost all of that and more
