Mike and Rose spent weekends at their cottage on Echo Lake, where he always had an ongoing repair project. Roughrider games were another long-standing interest. Together they spent many happy holidays in Hawaii, and since he was an avid photographer and painter, he spent many happy hours reproducing in paint some of his pictures. For many years Mike was a member of the Gyro Club and looked forward to the meetings and fellowship. Mike was very proud of his family and we will miss him.
