A special thank-you to the caring staff at Alexander Place and our wonderful Dr. James Faught and his staff. Mike retired in 1989 as a locomotive engineer with CN after 38 years. He enjoyed life with his family, his CN Railway family and the Trinity United Church family in Capreol, Ontario. He was a member of the Capreol Senior's Curling Club and Chelmsford Golf Club. He was blessed to have good friends throughout his life. He loved living in Capreol which allowed for his outdoor lifestyle of fishing, snowmobiling, golfing, camping and trips to Thor Lake camp. If desired, memorial contributions made to Trinity United Church, Capreol or to the Northern Ontario Parkinson Society of Canada would be appreciated by his family. To respect Mike's wishes a Memorial Service and interment will be held in Capreol this coming spring. Please sign the Book of Condolence at www.kitchingsteepeandludwig.com
