Celebrating the life of Mike Buckley
Posted August 2, 2023
It is with deep sadness that we must announce the loss of one of our own, Michael Buckley. Mike lost his very brief battle with cancer over the weekend. We are devasted. Mike played an important part at Cabot, running our Storage Division, with a focus on the Rousseau Metal product line. Mike had that special touch when it came to dealing with his customers and his co-workers. We are going to miss him terribly.
In honour of Mike, we will be closing Cabot on Tuesday, August 8th, to attend his Celebration of Life. We will reopen Wednesday morning, August 9th, at 8 a.m.
