Michael Chindemi
As the late afternoon sun set on his lovingly tended to garden, Michael Chindemi drew his last breath at 4:23 p.m., on May 8, 2021, after a valiant and courageous fight with the beast we all know as Covid. As Michael entered this battle, he armed himself with three simple words: “I have faith,” and so with faith he surrendered his life, holding the hands of his adoring wife, Linda, and his dedicated son Donovan. Jason and Matthew, his older loyal sons, stood vigil in spirit, lifting their hearts to their father, honoring the man who, at his very weakest, gave them all the greatest example of strength and dignity.
Michael was indeed a man of dignity and bravery. He lived a rich life of service to his loved ones, friends, acquaintances and even strangers who walked along his path. Michael’s heart overflowed with brimming generosity, his spirit danced with creativity and vision, and his soul lead with integrity and confidence. Michael stood outside the norm, setting the stage for all those who dared to live beyond the basic.
Michael expressed his gifts and passions in his vocational work as a teacher, a vice principal, an Arts Consultant, and in Leadership determined to inspire ambition and impact change, but to his grandson Jackson, Michael was a hero. He was Papa, who would hold his hand on a walk, make him Mike’s famous chicken, and tell him story after story that would captivate his tiny little heart. Michael was more than a story-teller, a gardener, a friend, a father and a husband, he was a lover of life.
Michael is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Linda, his three beautiful sons Jason, Matthew (Jessica) and Donovan, whom he loved very much, and the apple of his eye, his grandson, Jackson. Michael’s deep affection for his younger brother Wayne (Dagmar) flourished in the twilight of their years.
Michael was predeceased by his father Armond (Wayne) and his mother Angelina, whom he had the great honor of joining on the first anniversary of her passing.
Above all, Michael was the faithful son of God, who served in his life with the hands of Christ, and the joy of angels. He brought laughter to all the ears that would listen, and nurtured with kindness and affection all whom shared his journey.
In his faith, by his own words, Michael did not lose an empty battle, but won the hearts of many by his very life. Let us celebrate a man who shines ever-so- brightly in Heaven, and lives on in our memories.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the ICU unit at Cambridge Memorial Hospital, 700 Coronation Blvd, Cambridge, Ontario, in his memory.
Michaels service will be held on Tuesday June 8th and can be viewed at:

Mario Cavallaro
Mr. Chindemi was my vice-principal at Michael Power/St. Joseph’s in the 90’s and was a great man who always had time to chat with students and offer guidance while telling some great stories with a beaming smile on his face. He really loved his work as a teacher and administrator. He was one of the many people that made Power the great place that it was in those days. He helped move MPSJ from the Dundas St. site to the current location with skill and competence. My condolences to the family. Rest in peace Mr. Chindemi.

John and Julie Julie Ryall
Michael and Linda were the first friends my wife Julie and I made in Toronto when Mike and I began our teaching careers at Madonna in 1974. He was godfather to our firstborn, Damien. Michael was more than a Drama teacher. He was a builder and an inspiration to hundreds of girls who grew, under his tutelage, to believe that they could achieve and become whatever they chose to be. He was a man of great humour, passion and vision. Again we ask ourselves, why do we wait so long to say these things.
Our love and condolences to Linda and their sons.
JDC
Worked with Michael at Madonna when he began his career.
A very creative and enthusiastic Drama/English teacher.
Had very good memories.
Mara and Angelo Bolotta
Angelo and I were so sad to hear about Michael. How can we ever forget those dinners at Scarlett Road, our visits to Thorold and St. David’s. We were all such free spirits in those days. We send you and the boys our love and prayers during this difficult time. Rest in peace Michael.
Marisa Angelucci
Mr. Chindemi will be remembered fondly by so many students of Michael Power back in the 90’s when he served as our VP. His stories, his smile and guidance have left a lasting impression on so many of us. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. A great man gone far too soon. Rest In Peace.

I offer my deepest condolences and prayers to the family of Michael. I remember Michael as a dedicated educator and as having a passion for the arts.
Michael was instrumental in Facilities in making improvements for schools. He was a kind man that always considered service to others as an important part of his life. I will say a rosary for his eternal rest and for peace to be with the family.
May Michael rest in peace and may the eternal light shine upon him.
In sincerest sympathy,

I haven’t had the chance to meet Mike in person, but through his friends and family, I felt like I knew him as a funny, loving, and kind-hearted person. To Linda, Donovan, Matt, Jason, Jackson, and all his close-ones, I’d like to express my sincere condolences. Rest in peace Mike.
Frances Long
I will always remember Michael’s smile and his great sense of humour.

This is truly a very sad day. As my Drama Teacher in the early 80s, he had a huge impact on my life. I will never ever forget him.
My sincerest condolences to his Family and those closest to him.
Carmelina Adamo
Hi Linda,
So sorry to hear the passing of Mike. He was good hearted and an amazing family man. We didn’t spend to much time together but the times we did we had a blast. May all the memories you have bring you and your family comfort at this difficult time. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Stay strong!

Linda Graziano
He was truly one of the greatest teachers I’ve ever had! He took us to England in the 80’s to tour and put on performances. One of the best memories of my Madonna high school years. My deepest condolences to all his family
Mike Cameron
I was one of Donovan’s close friends growing up. I remember a day when Mike came downstairs in his boxers, and (owing to his chest hair) one of our friends said ‘nice sweater, sir’, to which Mike replied by dropping his boxers and mooning us. A truly hilarious and well-timed reply to a smart-ass comment from a teen. This embodies the zest Mike had for life. He was a serious and stoic leader when the situation called for it, but he never lost his sense of humor and enjoyment of life. He will be missed. My love and thoughts to his family.
Donna Lacalamita
Mr. Chindemi was my Drama teacher at Madonna High. He was an inspirational leader – a man who taught young women to be bold, take risks and to stand up for themselves and their beliefs. And most importantly, to see the humour and have fun. I have very fond memories of him – his counsel and wisdom changed the course for many. My sincere condolences to his wife and family, but know his memory lives large in the hearts of those of us who were lucky enough to have been taught and mentored by such an incredible person. Keeping you all in thoughts in prayers.
Flavia Jaber
Condolences to the family of a much cherished teacher from my days at Madonna High school. I am deeply saddened by this news. I have very fond memories of Mr. Chindemi. God Bless his soul.
Deborah Kerr
Also my teacher at Madonna. He loved teaching and he inspired me to be a lover of reading, performing always at your best and cherish relationships with kindness and respect. I do enjoyed seeing him many years ago at Donna’s house. He will forever be one of the men that taught me so much as a young woman. My prayers are with his family. So very sorry for your loss.
Sandra Micallef-Udovic
My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of this great man. As a high school student of Mr. Chindemi I will never forget not only the opportunities he gave me in the school plays, but his sense of humour, his encouragement and support always. He was truly one in a million. A teacher that I can honestly say become my friend, and who became a friend to the countless students he taught. Rest in peace Mr. Chindemi. You will forever hold a very special place in my heart. Condolences to his family and close friends. May the love that Mr. Chindemi showed to all his students be showered upon you all, giving you strength and support during this difficult time.
Donna Lisi (nee Caruso)
It is with a heavy heart that I write this to you, Linda, and your family today. A man who gave so much to so many was taken far too soon. He inspired and shaped so many of us. A brilliant mind with the best giggle in town, I will miss him terribly.
Donna Lisi (nee Caruso)
Carol Santagato- Davies
It is because of Michael Chindemi that I became a Drama teacher. He was an inspiration to so many of the girls at Madonna High School. I have great memories of being in the drama productions over the years (75-79) and will forever remember the confidence that he instilled in all of us. I feel like every minute spent in his class or being directed by him just made me a better person. A creative, beautiful soul. My condolences to the Chindemi family.
Phil and Josie Aguanno
Linda, Donovan and family

He was a kind and creative man and will be remembered fondly.

Mr. Chindemi was a man, a mentor, a master teacher and by all accounts honoured and respected by family and friends alike. Mr. Chindemi will forever hold the title of ‘Mr.’ A perennial favourite of the Madonna student body, his expectations always clear …. stay through the credits.
Yours was and will always remain centre stage Mr. Chindemi . To ‘Sir’ with love, Laura Libralato (‘76-‘81)
Anna Maria Rotatore
I had the honor and privilege to work with Michael when he was our Vice Principal at Monsignor Fraser College. Michael was an inspirational leader and most importantly he was a friend to staff, students, and families alike. He was always positive, friendly, and welcoming to everyone. He has left such an impact on me as a a young teacher in the profession and made me feel at ease and inspired me to be creative with the students in our care. His laughter, love of life, and the stories he would tell left a lasting impression. He so much loved his family and would talk often about his boys. I am sending each of you my condolences and prayers. To Linda, although we never had a chance to meet, he often spoke fondly and highly of you and to his boys you can see how proud he was of each of you. May God give each of you comfort and may Michael rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Michael’s passing. He was such a good man, a man of many talents, a strong intellect, a strong work ethic, good values, great sense of humour, a lovely smile, amazing creativity, and many other personal qualities and virtues. However, most importantly, Mike had a good and wonderful heart, a kind and sensitive disposition, and a deep and loving spirituality that he bestowed on everyone he met. God bless him, and may God bless his dear family too, Linda, Donovan, Jason, Jackson, Matthew (Jessica), and Wayne (Dagmar).

My sympathies on the passing of Mike. I worked with him at east facilities when he was the coordinator. He was a true gentleman and always treated me with respect. We shared in some good times as he would always have a joke ready.
He made you feel important even though he was our boss.
May he rest in peace

I am very saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Michael. He was both a colleague and a friend. He brought a wealth of talent to St. Basil College as a Vice-Principal during the mid-90’s. Among his many contributions, he was very instrumental in the planning and designing of our new school on Starview. However, my fondest memory of Michael was on the golf course where as teammates, during the inaugural of the St. Basil golf tournament, he literally carried me on his broad shoulders to a respectable finish. Occasionally we would bump into each other at the auto mechanic shop. We would always get a chuckle reminiscing about that golf tournament and subsequent celebration. Michael you will be sadly missed.
My sincere condolences to Linda, Jason, Matthew and Donovan. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Janette Woodley(Wilson)
My Sincerest condolences to Mr.Chindemi family. I was a former student of Mr.Chindemi at Madonna (in the 80’s). He was such a kind soul, with a great sense of humour and was a very caring teacher. I have nothing but the fondest of memories.
RIP Mr. Chindemi you were truly amazing
Raffaella Mio
My heartfelt condolences to the Chindemi family. I knew Michael at St. Basil’s College many years ago, a kind, mindful and supportive gentleman. May his memory be a source of strength and comfort.

It is with great sadness and disbelief that I received the sad news that Michael has passed away. Michael and I worked together for two years at St. Basil as vice-principal and principal, but more importantly we collaborated on designing and creating a student and teacher friendly building that would benefit generations of students. Thanks to Michael’s architectural, designing and artistic expertise the new St. Basil building is a testament to the skills that Michael was blessed with. The two years and more that we worked on the project made me realize that Michael not only was a catalyst for change but he always had the students’ emotional, physical well being and development in mind.
My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to Linda and the boys. May he rest in peace.

Michael was a very outgoing, and giving friend for 35+ years. Hist zest for life was positively infectious. His family was always around and his enjoyment of them was wonderful. He will be missed by all who knew him. Joseph and Katharine Clarkson.
Lois and Harry Doxsee
Our sincere sympathy to you Linda, and his whole family. Our street will not be the same without Michael walking the dog, stopping to chat and basically spreading joy wherever he went. His love for his family was so evident and his faith in God stood firm to the end. May he rest in peace and may God continue to comfort and strengthen you as you mourn his passing with all who knew him.

Michael Chindemi, my deepest condolences to you, your wife Linda and all your children. This is a saddest day for me. My sorrow is not easily forgotten, I have lost a friend, teacher and fraternal counsellor, model teacher to me. When I think of you, my memories of happy days of teaching fill me with joy and sadness… remembering the birth Fr. Bressani, The Jesuit, Brief Relations, and Madonna Catholic High School.
Farewell Michael!

Kevin Horton
For the first 14 years of my life, Mike was a second father to me. Besides school, my house, maybe the baseball diamond I spent more time at the Chindemi’s house than anywhere. Mike gave me my first nickname and he’s the only one to ever call me by that name….Keke. Jason, do you remember that one? He’s also responsible for my love of the Buffalo Bills. Thank you Mike! You will never be forgotten. My most sincere condolences to you Linda, Jason, Donovan, Matthew, and to you Jackson, your grandfather was one of kind!
Lora G
It is very hard to let go of someone who has influenced your lives in such a strong and positive manner. I never had the pleasure in meeting Michael but I worked with his son Donovan. Having lost my dad last year, I can honestly say that no one is ever truly prepared to lose a parent. The loss pierces the heart and leaves a hole that cannot be filled. As a good friend explained to me, “death is a heartache that no one can heal, and our cherished memories is all that we have that no one can steal”. So, with that in mind, Donovan and family, please hold onto the lovely memories of Michael close to your hearts so that his spirit can continue to live inside all of you. RIP Michael. It’s your time to spread your wings and soar.
Theresa Fleming
Dear Linda and Family: Our sincere condolences in the passing of Michael. We remember the great dinners we went to together, especially Mama Martino’s Restaurant. Leo and I will remember you and Michael in our prayers.
