Mike loved to work on his Bailieboro, Ontario farm with Cindy –his German Sheppard companion. He was never afraid to work hard, but even more defining was his love of music and dance. All who knew him well will recall a time he was involved in one or the other: from his life in Milton Ontario, the Boston Church Choir, The Haltones, and the Scotch Block Square Dancing Club. More recently people will recall Mike’s voice amongst those at the Millbrook Community Choir. It may be Mike’s independent spirit that lives beyond these musical memories, for along with his young daughter and other supporters –and against all sense of what was normal at the time- he founded girls soccer in Milton. Mike shared his “live and let live” attitude and his gentle, caring spirit with his wife, children and everyone he met. The greatest loss is surely suffered by those who never knew him; husband, father, brother, friend, Mike.
