In 1969, they made the move from Thunder Bay to Gold River and Michael became an employee at the local pulp mill. He ended up retiring in 1994 after they made their move into Campbell River in 1993.
Michael was an avid golfer and fisherman in his day. He also had a love for music and could pick up any instrument and play by ear. He was a good father who always took care of his children and did the best he could to teach and guide them, a loving grandfather and "great-grand" father.
