Mike was born in St Albert Alberta. He was raised in several small farming communities and settled in Prince George where he met and married his loving wife of 44 years, Laura. He worked for the Pas Lumber Co where he was employed for 10 years. Mike built his first home in Pineview where he began raising his four wonderful children. He tried his hand at Tartan (Pacific} Brewery in Prince George and finally at School District 57 where he worked along side Laura
for many years until he retired in 1999. Mike loved to tell his family many stories about growing up on the farm and how it was in those days. He was a tinkerer and could fix almost anything in his own unique way. Mike and Laura always welcomed family and friends to their home often sitting by the pond that Mike built in the back yard on Carney Street. So many great memories. He loved cars, (classics especially) playing the guitar, harmonica & violin.
In his retirement years he enjoyed long walks in his neighbourhood around Asher Place. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and many acquaintances, but never forgotten.
We would like to thank Dr. Tower, Dr Geddes and the staff of Prince George Hospice House and UHNBC for their care. There will be no service by request.
