Michael worked at Canada Post in 1977 as a letter carrier for 35 years and retired in 2012. Michael’s passion was for woodworking and carpentry where he took great pride in everything he built. Michael enjoyed golfing and also he loved the time with his family at Johnston’s Harbour.
Michael faced his illness the same way he faced any obstacle in life, with courage and determination. He was an exceptional family man with a kind and generous heart.

Special thanks to all the doctors, nurses and staff who took such great care of Michael over the past several months. He will be extremely missed but never forgotten.
