The Association of Ontario Land Surveyors is sad to notify you of the death of Michael Brooke OLS #1274 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of beloved husband, father, brother and Grandad, Michael Brooke, on February 28th at the age of 76. He is survived by wife Patricia, sister Jane, children Jeff and Tracy, daughter-in-law Charlene, and his six wonderful grandchildren Taylor, Tegan, Ali, Camryn, Julian and Findley. Mike died peacefully after a brave battle with aggressive colon and liver cancer, with family by his side. Born in Thetford, England, Mike emigrated to Canada with his parents and sister at the age of 10. The family called various Toronto neighbourhoods home, until moving to Aurora in 1959. It was there that Mike met and fell in love with Pat, and they were married in 1968. Mike’s job as an Ontario Land Surveyor took them north to Sudbury, where they raised their children, made many friends, and created numerous fond memories. Over time Mike revealed himself to be a man of many interests. Involved in Scouts for years growing up, he continued this pursuit as a Scout Leader, as well as enjoying plenty of camping, canoeing and fishing. His leisure time was also filled skiing, playing tennis, golf, guitar, messing around with his significant model train layouts, or dancing the night away with Pat. Above all though, he proved himself a wonderful husband and father, always putting his family first, showing loving support in good times and bad, working hard to make life happy for his wife and children. Mike was able to enjoy nearly 20 years of happy retirement with Pat in their most recent home of Victoria Harbour - with yet another set of great friends. He busied himself with boating, photography, badminton, serving as President of the Georgian Shores Seniors Club, and traveling with friends and family. Not least, he got to be a Grandad. He was wonderful at that too. The whole family, his many friends, and everyone else he touched with his humour, generosity and simple decency will cherish their memories, but miss him dearly nonetheless. For those interested in donations, please consider the Canadian Cancer Society or the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
