    Some of the retired girls from the Manor get together once a month for a meal and every 2 months we would go to see Mike at Rosedale. They loved him there and he did too. Carol, Jenny and I got to see him 1 last time in September and I am so glad now that we went. We could not hug him goodbye as it was a social distance visit but he sure was glad to see us. Mike, I hope you are walking around and greeting everyone and you get to set up a work shop. I know your Mom was waiting for you with open arms and I know how much you missed her also. I am glad that us girls helped to make things easier for you and now there is no more pain. Rest easy my friend and I will think of you every time I look at my corner shelf you made me.

    Dear Randy, Barry and Gail

    It is with a sad heart I read of Mike’s passing. He was a great guy and I will remember him fondly as a colleague and a friend!

    We had such fun at Queens Manor, he and Scottie were always good sports to indulge my crazy ideas and be a part of the good times at Queens Manor. He was a hard worker that would always go above and beyond in the call of duty. He was so kind to all the Residents and I know he made a valuable contribution to his family and friends at Rosedale Home when he lived there and to the community through the Lions Club! My thoughts and sympathies are with each of you.

    To the family who have said goodbye: It is with a heavy heart that I stumble upon news of Mike’s passing. Not only was I privileged to be Mikes collegue at Queens Manor, but an even bigger privilege was to sing with Mike in the group “ Rhythm & Harmony!”
    Mike had a beautiful voice; a love for his Lord, and a sweet and kind spirit! I know without a doubt where his soul dwells now! He is no longer suffering; he does not shed a tear. He is at peace. May the family and all of those people that knew Mike know he is in a wonderful place.

    To Mike’s family..
    So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I worked with Mike many years ago at the Manor, he was definitely a special person, so kind to all, including the residents! Always had the time to lend a helping hand. Once I left the Manor if we run into one another somewhere he never forgot, always made sure to speak! Taken way too soon. Rest easy kind soul.

    To the family of Michael Crouse..
    We are very sorry for your loss, Michael was a special man and will be missed.

    We took him out with us at times and always enjoyed the conversation and time together.
    He will be missed for his smile, thoughtful comments, laughter and just “Being Mike”
    Thinking of you all

  61. Angela Roy

    Dear Randy, Barry, Gail and families

    It is such sad news to all of our hearts to hear of the passing of such a kind and special man.
    I know that everyone who knew him could only say beautiful things about him. As there truly wasn’t a more sweeter soul that has graced our lives.
    At work he would always do whatever was needed and beyond, with his big heart ❤️
    For staff and residents. Mike was always there for whom ever needed him.

    He loved his family twice as much.
    A wonderful example in my life of true humanity in motion. Kindness, grace and love enveloped this amazing man.
    He has been given his great reward now and can finally rest. God has called him home.
    How like him in his humbleness not to want a service.
    To each of you, take care and know how much he loved you and how much we all loved him.
    In love and friendship.
    Angela and Jeff.

  62. Scott and Vicki Conrad
