Michael
September 30, 1926 - April 4, 2020
Mike completed his 93 year journey, passing at Drumheller Hospital. He was born in Petna, Poland, and immigrated to Canada with his mother and two older brothers to join his father in Rosedale. He lived and worked all his life in the Drumheller Valley. Mike started his working life at Rosedale Coal Mine at age 16. His main career of 30 years was with ALCB (liquor store). After retiring, he enjoyed combining for Tyler and Randy James.
Mike liked RVing throughout western Canada, wintering in Yuma, AZ twice. Mike loved camping, boating and short drives in the country. He enjoyed looking after his family property in Rosedale; his passion was his 71 years of golf.
Mike is survived by his wife, Judy, of 63 years, daughter Tracy, and son Michael, also many in-laws, nieces and nephews, and his close childhood friend of 85 years, Bill (Ann) Webster. He was predeceased by his parents, brothers Pete (Clara), and Bill (Eva).
A celebration of life will take place at a future date.
Flowers gratefully declined. Donations in Mike’s name can be made to Drumheller Area Health Foundation.
Thank you to Dr. Kuschke and all the wonderful staff at Acute Care.
