Michael Sribney, Ph.D., 79

Beloved husband of Jane Brady. Loved by his children Carol and Bill, daughter-in-law Laurie, and his grandchildren Matthew, Aaron, Cecilia, and Adam. Michael is survived by his sister, Tillie and brothers Steve, Walter, and Emil. He was predeceased by his first wife, Margaret Jane Parker, his father, John, mother Tekla, sister Pearl, and brother John.

Michael was born on Feb. 5, 1927 on a farm in Northern Valley, Alberta. He received his Bachelors degree in Chemistry from the University of Alberta in 1952, his Masters degree in Chemistry from McMaster University in 1953, and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Chicago in 1957. He was a professor of Biochemistry at Queens University from 1968 to 1992.

Michael loved his many friends in Kingston and in McMinnville, and across Canada and the U.S. In retirement, he enjoyed hiking, opera, theatre, music, cooking, gardening, stargazing, and meteorology. He had a rich and inquisitive mind, joyous attitude toward life, and a playful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to First Presbyterian Church or Magness Memorial Library. A celebration of his life will be held on Sunday May 28 at 4 p.m. at the Kingston Unitarian Fellowship, 214 Concession Street, 613-544-8777.
