The last time I spoke with Michael we reminded each other of our craziness in music and theatre at Acadia, and, of course, long discussions into the winter nights.He was a wonderfully bright friend of mine, and I thank him so heartfully for that.

Jane and Family:
Please accept our most sincere condolences for your loss.
We had the privilege of having Michael and Jane living in Apt 2 for many years while they lived in Ottawa. Needless to say, we became very good friends.
Michael was a kind, gentle and caring person. We are saddened by his passing.
Dear Michael: "Since you'll never be forgotten, we pledge to you today a hallowed place within our hearts is where you'll always stay."
Margo and Brian

I worked with Michael at the Hall in the late 90s and what I remember best is the (unhurried) space he gave me to grow as a writer as I reworked the script. It is lovely to see the photo of him as a student. I was in my first year at Acadia when he was in his last. He rejected my (no doubt terrible) poems for the student paper and I had great fun reminding him that he had some 20 years later. It was fun to tease and laugh with him. My sincere condolences to all Michael's family and friends.

My condolences to Jane and family. I did not know Michael but from what I have read about him I would have liked to have met him. Though I do know Jane and in a way I feel his spirit...

I met Michael at my work place in St john's Nl. Through conversation he asked where I grew up and I said codroy valley, he asked my last name and I said Chaisson he said he had the same last last name... Turns out he has the same name as my father, Michael.. Long story short we bonded over that fact and he had many wonderful chats.. He sure has a special part in my heart which I will cherish.. Since condolences to all his family.. I will miss our chats.

I was one of the many who were privileged to spend time with Michael. He taught me self belief, compassion and hope among other lessons. I wish heaven had visiting hours ( ES) ,
Thank you Michael

Michael's work and friendship will resonate with me to the end of my days. His generosity of spirit, his talent and his friendship made the work easier, the days brighter the plays better. He'll be missed but his life lives on the hearts of those who knew and worked with him. Now cracks a noble heart - good night sweet prince. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

I met Michael doing a show a Ship's Company in Parrsboro, NS called Snow Dance by Daniel Lillford. He was generous and kind and full of great stories and had the best smile ever. So very very smart about really obscure things that fascinated me! I will miss his whimsical birthday greetings and our wee chats in various Facebook posts. Such a lovely man who will be missed, very much. <3

Dearest Jane,
What a beautiful goodbye. You have been a rock for Michael in his leaving and I am so sorry for your loss of him. To Doreen and her family... so sorry for your loss. To old friends from our younger day, Donnie and Rupert: Thank you for the constancy of your friendship with Michael and I am sorry for the hole he creates in leaving. I am grateful to you Jane, as a sister and friend. Love you. Deedra

Michael is the most supportive of colleagues …in theatre to have such unconditional support for your work when working “for” an artistic director (in this case artistic animateur) is not always the case. When I directed a show for Michael at RCA he always had my back and the back of all his artists. He is a gentleman of the grandest kind. To paraphrase Horatio in Hamlet (Michael would have been a PERFECT Horatio): May flights of angels sing him to his rest.

So much I didn’t know about you Michael as I read your obituary. I knew you were funny, kind, a great baker, passionate about so many things, the best cottage neighbour ever. I will miss you when I see the sunset on the lake and will remember you there. The world is a little smaller now without you. We will miss you.

Michael's mentorship during my early years acting at Ship's Company theatre had a big impact on me. As a young performer, full of nerves, I greatly valued his willingness to speak of his own fears and how his technique to channel it into the work. He always spoke to me on my level, despite my lack of experience and I felt like we were peers who were in it together. He was a beautiful performer, full of love and generosity, just like in his day to day life. I carry very fond memories of getting to watch his performance in The Mystery of Maddy Heisler by Daniel Lilliford from the wings of Ship's Company Theatre. I'm very grateful for his lessons.
My very best to all family and friends,
Matt

Michael was a fantastic “old” man on the stage. I loved him in every play that I saw him in. Several years ago, Jim and I were on the streets of Rome and suddenly I heard a voice yell “JOY”. It was Michael. We had a lovely catch up chat with Michael and Doreen. My sympathy to all who knew and loved him. Xoxoxoxo

I'm saddened to hear of Micheal's passing. I first met him in the 1970's at a Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Drama Festival when he acted with the Mokami Players from Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Since then I've had the honour of working with him on many occasions. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

There was nothing better than sharing a laugh with Michael. The world is a duller, sadder place without his kindness, generosity, wide spirit, and grace. Flights of angels, and including maybe Ella, sing thee to thy rest.

I met Michael while performing at the Ship's Company. A kinder, more honorable and talented man you could never meet. I was proud to share a stage with him. We will miss him greatly.
