Obituary of Michael James Sherlock
With great sadness, we announce the passing of Mike Sherlock at the age of 67 on November 13th, 2019, at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. Mike fought valiantly to stay with us; he is now at peace. Mike will be lovingly remembered forever by his wife, Karen; his daughter, Kristen (Dean); his son and « best buddy », Craig; his stepchildren Michael Cosgrove (Jenny) and Leah Tulloch (Shaun). He was a much loved « Grandpa Mike » to his two cherished granddaughters, Adelaide Cosgrove and Hannah Tulloch. Mike was predeceased by his mother Marie and his brother Matt. He will be fondly remembered by his father, Jack; his brothers Dan and Tim; his niece Carly and nephew Ben; his brothers-in-law, Clark and John: his sisters-in-law, Vicky and Margaret; his step-nephew Jeffrey (Jocelyn and Patrick), and his step-nieces Lara and Claire.
For over thirty years, Mike taught Math and Co-op at Georgetown District High School where he also served as the Technical Department Head, as the staff advisor for the Student Council, as the coach of the golf team, and as the arranger of so many memorable staff events. For many years, Mike took on the task of transforming GDHS into various spectacular wonderlands for the annual formal. Once he retired in 2006, he loved nothing better than time spent with family, a cruise with Karen in his yellow corvette, a golf game with his buddies, a day at Fallsview, a gathering of the « Nitwits », or simply a drink of scotch at his bar. He was a talented woodworker and skilled handyman, who filled his home with his lovely handiwork. Mike was always ready to share his expertise or to lend a hand to his family or friends, and his passing will leave a huge hole in the lives of so many people.
Mike’s family would like to thank his many friends who offered so much support in a variety of ways during his hospital stay. He treasured your friendship.
A private family cremation has taken place. Please join Mike’s family for a Celebration of his Life on Sunday, December 8th, 2019 from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Jones Funeral Home 11582 Trafalgar Road, Georgetown. Family and friends will have the opportunity to share their memories of Mike at 3:30 pm on this day.
In Mike’s memory, in lieu of flowers, a contribution to either the Heart & Stroke Foundation or Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital would be welcome.
2019
