<p>A Most Remarkable Uncle</p> <p>The Canadian kin remember Michael with much fondness. He was infinitely hospitable, erudite, unfailingly enthusiastic and very kind. When traversing Europe a warm welcome and a comfortable bed could always be expected at 29 Quai du Mont Blanc. He and Fiona will always be remembered with great affection. Truly this is the end of an era.</p> <p>Andrew McCallum</p>
