Mike Cassese

I met Mike back in the mid 1980's, he was shooting for the Toronto Sun and I was shooting for Mila Mulroney, the Prime Minister of Canada's wife. It was an event in Toronto, Mike and I ran into each other while walking down the road, we struck up a conversation, a conversation that lasted 27 years.

Mike was one of those guys that would help anyone, a quiet person with a camera that spoke louder than most. He was a great friend, I never met anyone that didn't enjoy being around the guy.

Mike passed away on December 27th of a heart attack, he was just 53 years old, far too young to lose a friend. He left behind a family and friends and so many amazing images that will never be captured.

The world lost a good man that day.
