He taught all of his students discipline, respect and empowered them with confidence. He took all of his students under his wing and taught them so much more then how to fight. He taught them to live. He became very attached to his students. Mike was very proud of his children and his grandchildren and all they have accomplished. In 2008, Mike was voted one of the five most fascinating people in Southwest Saskatchewan and received an outstanding reward for this. In his younger years, he enjoyed hunting with many of his friends, he loved to play cribbage and cards. He played fastball with the Ponteix Pirated for many years and they knew him as "Grandpa" as he was the oldest player and he played until his early fifties. All who knew him, knew that Mike could not say "No" to anyone and he helped many people in his lifetime. In his memory, memorial donations may be made to Kid Sport or Heart and Stroke Foundation.
