It is with sadness that I learnt of Michael’s passing. It was my pleasure to work with Michael when he served as Midwest Regional Director of B’nai Brith. His commitment to community was exemplary. He enjoyed life and lived it to fullness. May the family be comforted among the mourners of Zion.

My condolences to the Freid family. I worked with Michael for 14 years. He used to have his company which he was so proud of ( Trillium Photography ) take pictures at our dance schools. He loved his work and had a passion for the business. I am proud to be able to call him a good friend. He was an honorable and kind human being with a big heart and a gentle soul. He could always make me laugh. God bless you !

I played basketball with Mike at MacKenzie. He was a great guy and a great teammate. I hadn’t seen him in many years but I remembered him from time to time and the memories always brought a smile to my face. He was famous in High School for a fabulous comedy routine he did on stage that was made up only of Da Da Da Da Da .......

My deepest condolences and hugs to Loren, Lisa and Emma-Belle. Michael was a special man who cared deeply for you. He was upbeat and humorous every time I saw him since we met 47 years ago. My eternal picture of him will be a man barely able to control his grin. He always treated me like family. I celebrate him, and his absence will be felt.

Micheal continue to breath and lives within every memory you and your family have of him. Listening to your words today and those of Michael's lifelong buddy were "perfection" and a fabulous tribute to Michael, your late parents of blessed memory, and shows the unequaled love for him from all who attended. You as his baby or little brother, Lisa and Emma-Belle are blessed! He will be missed.

I was very sorry to learn today of Mike's passing. We played Mackenzie basketball together for 2 years. Mike was the anchor on our defense and an integral part of our winning the North York Senior Basketball championship in 1972. I will never forget seeing him for the 1st time in the gym, palming 2 basketballs and surveying the landscape of the basketball talent he would be playing with. Unfortunately, I have not seen him for a number of years. He was a terrific team mate and friend in high school. i have so many wonderful memories of him from high school and our basketball success. My condolences to his family for their loss.
