I remember Mike fondly from working at Ron Riley Aero years ago.
He was an excellent craftsman and pilot and so knowledgeable about things.
I will miss his stories of local events and history and his sense of humour.
My condolences to you and your family.

Dear Elsie and family,
Our deepest condolences on Mike’s passing. Diane , the kids and I were down east for another funeral so were not able to attend the services. Mike was an amazing man. Highly principled with great values and a great love of God. He was a mentor to me in my faith journey through our time together in Cursillo and an example to me in being true to one’s, faith, family and values. He will be truly missed but his many great gifts to this world will carry on in the hearts and lives of those he loved the most, his family and friends.
