After a courageous 12 year battle with cancer, Mike passed away peacefully with loving family by his side at Ian Anderson House, Oakville, on Tuesday, June 25, 2024 at the age of 78. Best friend and adoring husband of Barbara for 55 years. Loving father of Brian (Chelsea) and Eric (Meghan). Proud granddad to Michael, John and Eleanor.
Mike was predeceased by his parents Edward and Annette, brothers Chuck and Glenn, nephews David and Paul, and niece Christine.
He leaves behind many fond memories with his brother-in-law Bob (Jude) and nieces and nephew Jenn, Kari, Derek.
Mike was a lifelong gardener with a passion for growing the perfect tomato. A loving husband, father, and proud granddad who treasured his family beyond everything else.
He will always be remembered for his wicked sense of humour and countless shared memories with friends.
Cremation has taken place and a family service will be held at a later date. For those who wish, donations in memory of Mike to Ian Anderson House would be appreciated by the family.
Love
Love works
in ways
That are wondrous
and strange
And there's nothing
in life
That love
Cannot change
