He attended St. Francis Xavier University, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1969 and also St. Thomas University where he earned a Bachelor of Education degree in 1973.
A life long learner, and a man of eclectic interests, Michael followed a diverse career path. He taught for several years in Plaster Rock, and continued this career as a supply teacher in more recent times. He was a former Recreation Director for the village of Plaster Rock, operated a wilderness lodge at Mount Carleton and an outfitting business in Plaster Rock, and was involved in real estate sales.
Michael had a great passion for the outdoors which he satisfied through cross-country skiing, canoeing, and gardening. He shared his enthusiasm for these pursuits, especially with young people, and held a Level III coaching certificate from the Canadian Cross-Country Ski Association. He read widely and abundantly, and encouraged this practice in others. His influence will be sadly missed by his family and friends.

Tuesday January 27 2005 Suspected rebels kill 24 soldiers
BOGOTA, Colombia - Suspected rebels killed 24 Colombian soldiers who were protecting government workers Tuesday during a coca eradication effort, an army general said. It was the deadliest rebel attack in a year marked by hundreds of army deaths.
Gen. Hernando Ortiz said the troops came under attack by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, as they provided security to workers who were destroying crops of coca, the plant used to make cocaine.
The attack took place near Vista Hermosa, 170 kilometres south of Bogota, said Gen. Ortiz, the army's No. 2 commander.
Since the beginning of the year, more than 600 government forces, including military and police, have been killed by the FARC or other illegal, armed groups, according to government statistics.
