Angela and I had the pleasure of visiting Michael a number of times in the past few years, where his humour invariably made us laugh. Michael was also insistent on ensuring we had a beverage or two during the visit and kept his fridge well stocked despite not being able to participate himself, highlighting his generosity. At the Canadian Wood Council, Michael was invaluable to the wood industry, playing a key role in getting taller wood buildings in the building code. He was a valued and respected president at CWC, and will be missed greatly.

A family memory from the past (1959). Pictured are Rita and Joe Wrinn's children (Gwen,Ian,Fergus,Frances,Donna Timothy),Lorraine and Connie Morin. Beside Connie is Michael and George is in front.
We have so many fond memories of our cousins making the trip to the Pontiac to visit. I believe this was one of the first visits at least that I can remember. Memories are powerful and sustain us forever.

It was so sad to get the email from Michael with the update on his condition. I will remember him as a vibrant and funny guy - always finding some humour, even in the tough conversations. RIP Michael.

I would like to extend my most sincere condolences to the Giroux and Basque families, and to Michael’s many friends and colleagues who feel his loss. He was a good man. Fun to work with, and an innovator. I will miss him, a lot.
It is fitting that this medium is called a “tribute wall”. For Michael built walls, and floors, roofs, shafts, and more, and was very good at it. There is no doubt in my mind that over the course of his career he built a permanent legacy. So Rest In Peace. And may his memory be a blessing.

Memories?, oh just a few….
Met you in grade 9, became best buddies in school. Summertime tennis, biking, hanging out. Many trips to your cottage, too much vodka…Year round road hockey. Ice hockey in the winter.
As adults, beer league hockey, hitting pubs, some frisbee, a little squash, annual week-long ski trips for the 4 of us to Quebec City area, New England, or Whistler.
Exchanging thoughts on politics, RedBlacks, Sens, Blue Jays, tennis, curling, etc, investments…lost to you in chess more often than I won.
The last 5 years have been really tough my friend, I admire your drive and stamina and will to overcome your health issues.
Life is not always fair and it dealt you a bad hand. You made the most of it, and were successful up to 7 years ago. You’ve left behind a loving wife, loyal daughter and son, a grieving mom.
I have enjoyed our friendship throughout the years, and will miss you terribly. I will think of you often, and there will be pain at first, which will eventually be replaced by warm memories, of which there are so many.
Rest easy, see you on the slopes.
Pierre (and Louise of course)
…and condolences to the entire family, who we've gotten to know so much better these past few weeks.

It's difficult to believe that Mike will no longer be making an appearance at our class reunions! He will be terribly missed by all that knew him. His kind sweet nature will be forever remembered and appreciated. My deepest sympathies to his entire family and friends. My heart breaks for you. Liz D'Angwlo

I have known the Giroux's since the early 70's and have always known Mike to be very soft spoken and nice man. Its so sad Mike is gone so early. Condolences to the families.
