Dear Sanya
I sat next door to Michael when the CNSC had offices at the Telesat building. Through our daily interactions I got to know him well and learnt so much from him. His candid perspectives on our work mixed with his great sense of humor always made for wonderful conversations. I loved his way of explaining the intricacies of the legal questions by using analogies, sometimes a stretch but always with a point that he got to. I will never forget him. He was a kind man with a good heart. Sincere condolences to you and your family. Kavita

He was an amazing, openhearted, extraordinary person full of energy, optimism, endless joy and love, a wonderful family friend. We are remembering Michael with tears in our eyes and profound sadness in our hearts, but his vivid life’s stories are still here in the corners of our melancholic smiles and we will cherish them forever.

Deepest condolences to Sanja and the rest of the family. From my earliest days at the CNSC I remember immediately seeing how Mike's great legal knowledge was balanced wonderfully with his wit and humour. I was happier at any meeting with him in the room, and I felt privileged whenever I got to work with him directly. He'll be greatly missed.

It was my honour and pleasure to work with MIke on a number of important files. Mike was unique: Whipsmart, always thinking outside the box, collegial and incredibly funny. He made difficult litigation fun - by the sheer power of his positive personality. I will miss him very much. My condolences to the whole James family on this terrible, untimely loss. May his memory be a blessing.

I am sadden by this news. Met Michael & Sonja 10 years at CNSC while working at reception desk.
As a Commissionaire, Michael always brought sunshine into the building, had a great personality, along with Sonja's energy.
Always making everyone feel special. They made a great couple, always thinking of others.
My heart goes out to Sonja and her family, and will be sadly missed. Donna

Michael was always a great source of legal advice and wisdom during the time I worked with him at the CNSC. He was always eager to help and very easy to approach. I Have many good memories of the times that I consulted with Michael. He was always there for everyone. He will be sorely missed. Thank you, Michael, for all that you shared.
My sincere condolences to his family for their loss. It is also a loss to the community as a whole.
