“champ” mike so many memories in the 14 plus years we drove maple ridge crazy , going back to the very first chin kick you gave me ! you gave me the privilage of being the first man to see you babies born just hours later , Zack and Shannon both are the greatest children I know and you were the greatest dad ! I promise to one day let your children know just how much you loved them , I know you did as I heard it daily , and as a father of 5 girls I understood every thing you said and tried to help you in every way I will look out for your kids and protect them if need be . Thats what uncles do even if we were not blood related I loved you as a friend and respected you as a man. I remember when you brought zack and shannon home we were having a drink at the local pub and just happened to see a toy machine filled with cute lovable stuffed animals I watched you spend so much money trying to win those stuffed creatures , then I decided to show you a easier way , you agreed so we grabbed the machine by its sides and tipped it over onto its belly all thou the staff was not to happy we walked out of there with over thirrty stuffed animals lol lol , we did that so often they had put a out of order sign on it remember buddy , “Mike” I will never meet another man like you in my life time” never , and that makes me as sad as your passing , our stories and memories all of them will be treasured , and from time to time i think i will stop in at timmy”s and laugh and share memories with those who loved you and respected you , I promise to keep to you the promises we had with each other.
