During 1995-2013 as coach and administrator, Mike excelled. His teams rarely missed winning provincials and returning from Westerns and Nationals without a medal. Players and their parents revered him, and provided enthusiastic support. As administrator with Softball Manitoba, he served and chaired many committees including development, competition and ethics, served as board member and various executive positions including president and past president. Mike believed he could use the game of softball to develop boys and girls into honorable and productive men and women. A man of faith in others and himself willing to make the sacrifices to succeed. A great man in a great time.
