Fondly known to his sisters, Julie and Steffi and his nieces, Sara Silveira, and Betsy and Amy Taggart as 'Captain Crunch,' Mike went on before' us on Wednesday, December 28th. His heart had no bounds. He spent many years on the waterfront and his love and knowledge of his city and the Port of Vancouver was vast and palpable through his vivid descriptions and amazing photographs. His interests went far beyond the port to historical depictions of the evolution of transportation - from "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles" to the elegant ships of days gone by. Mike was a great storyteller and could entertain friends and family for hours. He loved animals, devoting his time to comforting rescued kittens and cats at his favourite shelter in North Vancouver. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. God speed your passing, Mike.
