Cherished uncle to his many nieces and nephews. Born in Baysville July 11th, 1931. He attended Baysville Public School, Bracebridge High School and St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto. Mike spent his career as an educator retiring as Principal of Lockerby Composite High School in 1988. He was a devoted parishioner of Christ the King. He was a life long learner, an avid volunteer and enjoyed opera, art, gardening, berry picking, dinner parties and his Friday afternoon bridge at St. Patrick’s. Mike had a gentle nature, dry sense of humour and quiet smile. And in the words of St. Timothy… “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
