Michael and I reconnected in 2022 for the first time since graduating from Brebeuf in 1972. It was great to remember those fun times and realize we both had overcome some health challenges over the years. When my e-mail in 2023 got no response I knew the testing he had talked about did not provide positive results. I will always be thankful that he reached out to connect in 2022 and share some great memories.
Michael: The old Brebeuf gang. I should sign up finally to all those invites to school registry. My wife's family's boys went there as well. And all the girls to St. Joes. Michaels brother was my lawyer on many things. But he knew Michael and I had a past yet didn't tell me he died. Couldn't have made it anyway. Like you lmedical probs last several years has had me in hospital more than home.St Mike's overdosed me with Decsomethasone which resulted in Cushings syndrome which paralyzes you. Looking for Long term care that doesn't cost more than my apartment.
Condolonces to the Oster family. Like you Mike, many good memories we shared the 3 of us plus some more of our gang.Stefan Zawalicz
I am so sorry to hear that Michael passed away. He was a few years ahead of me at Brebeuf and I remembered him from his hard working Track and field days at Brebeuf. He reconnected with me a few years ago and advised me on some medical issues I was having. When he did not respond immediately to my email (as he always did) I realized something was wrong. My deepest condolences to Michaels family and friends.

My good friend that always challenged me every time we met, this was our inside joke.
He loved to keep busy all the time, here he is at the cottage in 2016 cleaning brick, this is a photo that i look at posted at the cottage that i will always remember him by. After we build the dome he was busy on his Dome in a box a brilliant concept that he was working on.
I will miss my good friend.

So very sorry for your loss. Michael was a wonderful neighbour and always so helpful and kind. We will miss seeing him with his dog, and admiring his beautiful garden. Sending our deepest sympathies to his family.
