Message from Beryl Boyle June 29, 2021

It is with great sadness that I express my condolences to Mr. Mike Clarke's family and loved ones. Please know that he has touched the lives of many during his years as an educator and is remembered fondly. My career at ESSB began during an interview with Mike and he continued on as a mentor and eventually signed off on my provincial accreditation. He was wise, and funny, and we will all surely miss him. On another note, I can say that my parents also appreciated he and Linda's company during their own stay in Rimouski. I believe many card games and laughs were shared.

Message from Bonita Annett and Daniel Sams June 21, 2021

It is with great sadness that we learn of Michael's death. Michael attended school with us in the early 70's at Gaspe High School. He was so much fun and we will never forget our school days together. Then when we were teachers at Eastern Shores School Board we saw him regularly at workshops, conventions and when he visited our school(Gaspe Polyvalent). He was always willing to take time to chat and showed genuine interest and care for the students and their futures. We will miss him. May he rest peacefully.
