Mike was born on an Air Force base in Germany to a family from New Brunswick. He moved out west as a young man where he met and married Val, settling in Calgary where they raised their family. Mike’s career was working with small engines, in particular with Kohler, where he gained and shared exhaustive knowledge of their workings. He had a love of gardening and never passed over an opportunity to spend time with his family or friends.
