My deepest sympathy to the Kotyk family, the fond memories of Michael will always hold him close to you. I worked with Mike from 1959 to 1964 at Aliance paper, changed to Howard Smith and finaly to Domtar. during this time we worked together on some major projects, of one that stands out in my mind is rebuildng a refining machine which entailed comming in for 4 hours and going home for 4 hours, this would last for several days. Mike was always a tower of power and I was fortunate to have known and worked with him.

To Michael's family, How fortunate you people are to have shared your life with such a good man. I remember Mike well from his time with the Ontario Regional Lily Society. He was always so gracious and welcoming to everyone at our meetings and he always went out of his way to make newcomers feel that they belonged. I am reminded when I see his picture here, how nice it was to be in his company. Sincerely, Dawn Suter, President, ORLS

Beloved Father, Husband and Friend
Michael Kotyk
It is with profound love and sadness that I write this, to say goodbye to Michael Kotyk. He represents everything good, loving and kind. When I was 15 years old, I spent a summer with this family. Lucy says it felt like half a year; thanks Lucy. I remember early Saturday mornings being awakened by a cheerful dad who wanted everyone in the kitchen for breakfast together. He would then enter with his ususal "Goodmorning My Angels!" and then kiss each of us on the forehead. He radiated love. God Bless this wonderful dad, husband and friend. Ann Calderwood

You were blessed with great parents! Apart from the time I spent with Cathy at your house on Niagara Street, I also stopped there numerous times to buy plants and visit with your father. I still have some in my perennial garden & I will think of him and of you, his kids.
Love,

My second Dad
Michael was the epitome of a gentle loving father....he loved his kids and I know he loved me too. As one of Cathy's closest friends growing up,I spent hours and hours in the Kotyk household. Laura and Mike never seemed to mind yet another kid around and always welcomed me with a smile and a hug. It was always easy to be there. We played bridge and Scrabble and talked and laughed for years. I always loved being there. Mike had so much information to give to whoever would listen. We would talk about family, flowers, life and love. I knew I was part of this family on the night when he told me to dry the dishes although I hadn't eaten there. As a matter of fact, I had skipped out of my house early, just after supper, so that I didn't have to do the dishes at my own home....could he have guessed...I argued with him but in the end, I had the dishtowel in my hand and dried alongside Cathy who was washing. Such was the way of the Kotyk household. I moved out of the area but whenever I returned to St. Catharines, I always stopped in to see him and his face would light up with that great smile of his and he would open his arms and I would get the best hug from him...I will miss him. He was my second Dad. Rest in peace my friend....I LOVE YOU.

I did not know Michael, but I wrote this song after my mother passed away last year, and thought that it might help you in your time of grief, as it helped me. If you would like to hear "I Have Lived", please email me and I will send you a copy.
