Dad enjoyed working around his home. He spent many hours on his wood working projects; refinishing damaged antiques, building small furniture, games, bird houses etc. This crafted woodwork, we all have around our homes, has created memories for us all. Dad also loved to go fishing with his friends and family and we have many memories to reminisce about of his fishing adventures around the area. Mom and dad resided on 10th Street in Cranbrook for over 60 years. They both had many great friends with the gang on 10th. Most evenings they could be found playing cards at one another’s house on the street. Thank you to both of you for the wonderful life you gave us, you will never be gone from our hearts.

Mike was predeceased by Ellen in 2024 and is survived by Eileen (Bruce), Art (Tracy). Grandchildren Aaron (Alecia), Brenna (Renee) and Kendall. Great grandchild Chase.

We would sincerely like to thank Dr. Mah and the staff of the EK Regional Hospital palliative care unit for your compassion and care given to dad.

A funeral service will not be held at this time and internment will be held at Fernie Cemetery at a later date.

In memory of dad please consider donating to the Hospice House Campaign at East Foundation for Health (EKFH).
