Mike was an amazing person. he was loving and kind and always smiled. he loved everyone. he excepted me into the family years ago and treated me just like I was a son. even through I was a nephew bye marriage I will never forget that. I loved him so much and I will miss him everyday of my life. R.I.P Mike never forgotten
My brother Mike was always smiling…ready to listen, laugh and tell a joke. He was a good man, loved by all who knew him..I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. He gave his unconditional love and support to his family. When we last spoke in June, he talked about how he looked forward to visiting with his children on their route to school and how much he missed his late wife, Karen.
As a family member of mine said to me the other day…” Mike is in heaven now, granted his reward, enjoying peace and happiness” RIP Mike.
Always a gentleman, kind and caring. Our sympathy to his girls.

My memory of Mike at LTC is that he was always a very nice, friendly man. He loved to joke and had a very good sense of humour. Always smiling. My wife and I are both saddened at Mike’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. Roger & Beth
Mike will always be remembered for his great smile and pleasure he was to work with. He will always hold a special place in our hearts as he so graciously offered to do the video for our wedding May 10th, 2003. It was just another way that showed what a caring & giving person he was.
RIP Buddy
Not only was Mike a great neighbour he was a gentle man and a true gentleman. We will miss him and his great smile.
My deepest condolences to almost if Mike ‘ s family. Many,many years ago I used to work w Karen and I always remembered Mikes cheerful face when he came to collect her after work. They were so happy and in love. I only saw Mike a few times on the bus but whenever I saw him he aleays had a genuine smile and a joke to pass along. It’s been a long time since I’d seen him but always remember both Karen and Mike with fondness. I’m sure he’ll be missed by those he loves but at least now he’s rejoined Karen in heaven. God Bless!
You will be missed Mike. You and your family are remembered from the early
days when Cleardale subdivision was
first created. We also recall seeing you driving a bus on occasion.
You were a dedicated person in all
areas.
We share your loss with your family.
We are unable to attend the service but will there there in spirit with you all during this time of loss.
I have just found out about Mike’s passing and I just wanted to say what a wonderful guy he was , I came to meet Mike as a 10 year old boy back in the seventies taking the bus to a new school and home again and it turned into what would become an almost 15 year bus friendship until I broke down and bought my first car,but I never forgot Mike’s friendship and have remembered him to my children and the great sense of humour and laugh he had,you could not help but smile.I remember a number of times some very rotten people on the bus but each time Mike was able to win them over and the situation ended right there.He was an unsung hero to myself and many people he made a BIG difference to even for a short ride on his bus…no matter the weather you could always count on his laugh and smile to brighten your day.I will never forget this man and the very big difference he made in a young boys life on his bus. I know god has blessed him and I am better off for have known Mike.
