It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Michael Robert Thomson ( September 05, 1945) has left our world. Mike passed peacefully in his sleep, . Mike was the loving supportive husband to Cheryl,(Sherry Brode) proud doting father to son Christopher, (Kristy Hastings Thomson) and Daughter Kathryn(Katy) and dedicated fun loving Grandpa to Jonah, Grayson, Janosch, Lucia, and Edda. Mike was predeceased by his parents, Bob and Joyce (Toots) Thomson. Surviving in sadness is his dear sister Patricia and brother in law Ed Lumley. Pat was the protective big sister even though Mike towered over her. Mike so loved her attentive phone calls and encouragement and support. Pat and Ed made Mike a proud first time Uncle. Their five children began the parade of nieces and nephews and now “grands” that total several dozens.

And beloved mother in law Patricia Brode, Matriarch of the Brode family. Mike enjoyed close bonds with inherited Aunts and Uncles, and again several dozen cousins, nieces and nephews. Mike had many gifts and talents. Intelligence, patience and a sense of humour served him well in his chosen profession as an educator. He was proud of his headship in Physical Education, and being one of the pioneers teaching Dramatic Arts in Secondary Schools. His love of theatre particularly Broadway musicals lead to numerous school performances under his direction. He enjoyed many years associated with Windsor Light(Opera) Music Theatre.

He met his wife there, and continued to perform on stage, behind the scenes, and served on the Board of Directors and also held office of President for Windsor Light. Another passion was sports. In his teaching career he coached teams in basketball, baseball, football, wrestling, gymnastics, track and field. Extracurricular activities included sports as a spectator, participant, coach, referee, and official. He was a member of Windsor Curling Club, Kingsville Golf Course, and Windsor Referees Association. Mike played volleyball, and baseball with WECSSO until recently. As he aged out of playing some sports, he had more free time to enjoy challenging bridge games and reading in his recliner, and on the porch. He loved printed books, and newspapers, tending to shun electronics. Mike and Sherry loved to travel.
