FERNIE, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, 1990 JAN 28 (NB) -- J. Michael Toohey, president and chief executive of Amdahl Canada of Toronto, has died in an avalanche while skiing near here. Toohey, 52, president of the mainframe vendor's Canadian subsidiary since 1987, was skiing in the Sand Creek Basin near Fernie with a small group. He was the only person killed. "The chemistry and dynamism that Mike brought to the job will not be easy to replace," said Cam Bright, vice-president of operations for Amdahl in Toronto. However, he said, "the company is a very strong company. The company will carry on." (Grant Buckler/19900201/Press Contact: John Challinor II, Amdahl Canada, 416-862-7479)
