In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke District Health Foundation for the Queen Victoria Hospital Helipad, Box 2421, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0. Mickey was born in Soldiers Cove, Nova Scotia on November 7, 1932 and had been a longtime resident of Revelstoke. He enjoyed his work as a Heavy Duty Mechanic in the construction industry and those talents served him well over the years. He had restored a multitude of old cars including the 1950 Mercury Monarch which he still owned. Mickey was also a member of the Revelstoke Vintage Car Club and was recently presented with a Lifetime Membership. He enjoyed sitting on his front porch, watching the sights and sounds of the community but what really thrilled Mickey was ‘the open road’ and spontaneous road trips. He loved to travel and driving was the best way to get anywhere. Mickey never drove by anyone in need, always stopping to assist anyone stranded on the side of a road. He had big heart and helping others was his quiet passion. Mickey was predeceased by his wife, Vie in 2000 and one sister, Agnes Sutherland. He is survived by two sisters, Peggy Collet and Mary Jessie Savoie both of Soldiers Cove, Nova Scotia; his daughter, Tina (Mark) Hieb; grandson, Owan and his friend and companion, Betty Ferguson of Revelstoke as well as numerous nieces and nephews and a host of good friends.
