Mike devoted his life to his family and community, serving on several boards and committees, including many years as President of the Teulon Ukrainian Festival Board. Over 27 years were spent on the Teulon Council as councillor, then mayor and he was awarded lifetime membership status with the Association of Manitoba Municipalities. He also served 35 years with the Teulon Volunteer Fire Department. Mike worked as a school bus driver for 22 years, but still found time to coach and umpire local baseball.
