In 1997, the family moved to Medicine Hat, where Mike started working as a plumber and later began running a small plumbing business after retirement. He was proud to be a plumber/gasfitter.
Mike’s passion was gardening. He also loved going for walks, camping, hiking, playing cards, and especially bird-watching.
