Our Father our hero

Born May 8, 1933, he came to Canada in 1961 from Celico, Cosenza, Calabria Italy, for a better life. A true artisan. Mike was an amazing carpenter, a craftsman with a rare talent and an eye for perfection when it came to woodwork. He could measure by eye, create what he envisioned magnificently with his hands. He built homes, furniture and kitchen cabinetry. Mike enjoyed many spontaneous day trips with his grandchildren. He was adored by his 14 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren and they were the apple of his eye. Mike will be deeply missed. He was a Member of Pensioners Dante Club of Sarnia.
