Gayle, Steve, Virginia & families,
We are so sorry to hear of Mikes passing. Our families had many good times together when we were young and Mike was always thoughtful and liked to have fun. His positive presence continued over the years as we would see him visiting dad or lending a hand. I always liked when he called me “dear”.
You are our thoughts and prayers.

Our prayers are with you. RIP Mike.

To Mike’s family and friends. Sorry to hear of your loss
Mike and my dad Bill grew up in the same area north of London then ended up working together on the same shift at Petro Canada for years. The friendly banter between these two was great. The friendship carried on into retirement for these two as well and when my dad died Mike still dropped by on occasion to visit with my mom and family. I on a number of occasions had the opportunity to join in on chats over coffee with Mike.
A great guy and a great friend to many. Myself included….

Paul, Rejane, and Garrett families,

Fred & Sharon Mardlin
Gayle, Steve, Virginia & families – We are saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. Fred had the privilege of Mike’s genuine friendship for over 65 years. Mike was kind, considerate, and more than willing to offer a helping hand. He enjoyed participating in truck rodeos, attending tractor shows, helping on the farm, and restoring his beloved Allis Chalmers tractors and equipment. There was lots of rivalry over tractor brands. Mike will be missed by all who knew him. May your memories bring you comfort in the weeks ahead. Rest In Peace Mike.
