Mike Glicksohn Memorial Service Toronto ON, at 7:00 pm on Wednesday March 23

For those who can make it so they are assured of getting the word:

I won't be able to go myself so I will be raising a glass instead and I will be organizing something at ConFusion 2012 to also remember Mike.

Hello everyone:

I received this from Sarah concerning the arrangements for Mike's service of
remembrance.

From Sarah -

Susan finished making arrangements for Mike's service this morning.

A service of remembrance is being held at Windermere United Church, 356
Windermere Avenue, Toronto ON, at 7:00 pm on Wednesday March 23. (Please
take special note of this if we Had previously mentioned to you that it
would be Tuesday!)

Windermere is the second church south of the Bloor and Windermere
intersection; it's a large square brick building that doesn't actually look
like a conventional church. Please note that there is no parking at the
church but there is plenty of parking in the Green P lot just north of the
Bloor and Windermere intersection. It's a short walk from there. Nearest
subways are either Runnymede or Jane.

Folks are also welcome back at 508 Windermere after the service, as a time
to talk with Susan and each other and, of course, to raise a glass to our
beloved friend.

Here is the announcement that will appear in the Toronto Star next week:

Michael David Glicksohn (“Honey”), born May 20, 1946 in Portsmouth, England,
died March 18, 2011 in Toronto after a lengthy illness. Amazing husband of
Susan Manchester, he will also be missed by brother Manning (Louissa) and
nephew Ray (Mary Ellen), cousins Dale (Petra), Jo (Howard) and Abby,
great-nieces Willow and Jade, cousins Alison Purdy and Kevin Purdy
(Rosemary), step-mother Hilary, and by many, many good friends. Predeceased
by his parents, Paul and Ellen (nee Mullane). Mike taught mathematics at
Humberside Collegiate Institute for 34 years. He was involved in science
fiction fandom for many years and won a Hugo Award for best fan writer. Each
Memorial Day weekend for more than 25 years, Mike and his friend Michael
Harper hosted MikeCon, which was attended by hundreds of friends and fans
from across Canada and the U.S. A service of remembrance will be held at
Windermere United Church, 356 Windermere Avenue, on Wednesday, March 23 at 7
p.m. In lieu of flowers or donations, Mike would probably appreciate it if
you raised a glass to him.
