Going to miss this pest .Always something to fix .I remember giving him a hand to change a light fixture at the club .We remember to turn the power off .Only it got too dark to see and Mike had gone to turn the light switch back on and forgot that the light fixture came back on .Zap !Never heard such words come out of his mouth before .Other than describing judges lawyers and politician and a few other unmentionable .We always had a good time doing our Sunday electrical repairs at the club !He was always willing to teach and help out in any way he could !
He will be missed Greatly.

Michael passing will be mourned in the many communities of which he belonged.
He was the type of man that was always looking out for the betterment of those around him.
Mike will be especially missed in the area where he lived and shared his life with his loving wife Nika and their dog Rags.        He wasn’t shy in contributing his thoughts and opinions on a wide variety of issues, which for the most part, were great conversation starters, which I will miss dearly. He was a pillar of the community.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It was always Mike and I against the world, we had 19 wonderful years together. But it wasn't only my loss, Mike had 10,000 "brothers" from the IBEW. Many friends, some for 50 years,he was that type of man. If you were a friend, you were one for life. And family, he LOVED his family. You could always count on him. Babe, I have a huge hole in my heart and will miss you forever,and love you always. Nika

My brother, Michael, always seemed happy go lucky.  When I think about it he was usually smiling or laughing at some recent joke.  He loved his blue jeans and shirt and that was his uniform.  He was comfortable, but his whole demeanour changed when that suit went on,(see picture)  not that it did very often, if he could help it.  I do believe that Nika was able to get him into a suit for their wedding and that relationship was the best thing that happened to either of them.  Nika always took the best care of Michael and he doted on Nika. We will all miss Mike very much.  



Shocking to see that Mike had passed. So pleased that he was able to attend our 50th weeding anniversary celebration last July.

Nika, I am so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. Please accept Len & My sincere condolences.  He was a very nice guy & I know he made you happy.

Mike, left us away to soon, but you  will remain in our hearts forever.
I have known and proud to say that Mike and I have been friends for more than fifty years. I do not recall a harsh word passing between us at any time. We fished and hunted together, He was a much better shot than I, but I out fished him.

Mick had a 1969 GTO (Goat) that he loved, and he would scare the crap out of us in it, dang that thing would fly.

Mike was a great hand gun shooter, better than most, and for sure better than me. So I was not surprised when he formed a gun club and it grew to be quite large..

Funny Mike would call me, and we would tell each other funny jokes and giggle away, and Niki would come home and say you must be talking to Wes...

Mike I will miss you every day, until we meet again my friend.
