During his lifetime Mike had strong love of photography, focusing on weddings. He would develop his own black and white photos in his home dark room with daughter Val; the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as a season ticket holder for 44 years with son Grant. He enjoyed every moment he spent with his granddaughters. The family would like to thank the staff on the 3rd floor at Concordia Hospital for their special care of Mike.

A celebration of Mike's life will be held on Tuesday, June 28, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St. A Heart of Gold A heart of gold stopped beating Working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. Leaves and flowers may wither, The golden sun may set But the hearts that loved you dearly Are the ones that won't forget. Glen Eden Funeral Home & Cemetery 204-338-7111
