Michael passed away peacefully at New Horizons Community of Care in Campbell River on Aug. 15, 2017 at the age of 82. Michael was born in Lampmann Sask., on Aug. 15, 1935. He grew up in Willmar and Alameda Sask., on the family farm and attended schools at Sandringham and Alameda. In the early 60’s Michael moved to the Island where he obtained work with the lumber and paper mills, and started a family. He liked the Island and he enjoyed occasionally going back to the Prairies to visit family. Living most of his later years in Port Alberni, Michael decided to move to Campbell River to be closer to his children and grandchildren. He is predeceased by his stepson Carey, son Clint and parents Albert (Verna Lario). He leaves to mourn his daughter, Michele (Richard) Bertle , son Marcus (Maryanne), stepson Bill Young (Heidi). He also leaves his grandchildren Cody, Mackenzie, Mercedes, Allen, Kelsy and Andrew as well as his brother Earl (Sheila), sisters Frances (Randell) Moore, Christina (Louis) Ludlam, brothers Harvey (Shirley), Harry (Bev) as well as many nieces, nephews and extended family. Michael will be dearly missed by all who knew him. A special thank you to the staff at New Horizons and to Dr. R. Sutherland and Dr. Debruin for their excellent compassionate care of our dad and also for their comfort and support at this diffcult time.
