He was predeceased by his father Emile and brother Marcel (Debbie). Mike was born in St. Boniface and raised in St. Pierre, Manitoba. Mike worked at NAV Canada and Transport Canada for 35 years in Air Traffic Control, retiring from the position of Regional Superintendent of Air Traffic Control and Affairs. Mike had many hobbies. He could be found on the golf course as often as humanly possible, and was known to have thrown his clubs in the river from time to time. He loved air traffic control and flying so much he continued to do so on-line even after he retired. Mike was an outstanding cook and all those he loved, enjoyed the fruits of his labour. Retirement also saw Mexico and Florida become second homes and he spent the cold winter months there with Irene. Mike will be greatly missed by the many, many friends and family who knew and loved the little general .
