In Memoriam: Michael R. (Mike) Weiss

Michael R. (Mike) Weiss

We are sad to announce the loss of Michael R. (Mike) Weiss, a University of Guelph alumnus and generous benefactor to the College of Arts.

Mike was a great friend to the College and a strong supporter of theatre student scholarships and the new Arts Research Centre (ARC), the home for performing arts.

Mike performed in theatre during his University of Guelph student days and he continued this passion as an avid volunteer at the River Run Centre with his wife, Knolly. His mother and grandmother were also involved in making costumes for the Guelph Light Opera Company. This legacy inspired him to donate funds to name the Green Room at the ARC in memory of his mother and father, Joy and Ernest Weiss. We extend our condolences to Michael’s wife, Knolly, and to his family.
