Mike loved the outdoors and fishing was his lifelong passion. He spent his childhood fishing in the North Thompson River and the many lakes and streams around Kamloops. After moving to Alberta, Mike embraced the Bow River, Ghost Lake, and the numerous lakes and streams in southern and central Alberta, spending many hours in his boat, along the shore, or on the ice. Mike passed on his love of hunting, fishing, and camping to his children. Mike was proud of his children and his love of the outdoors has given them memories that will provide comfort.
