“Mike was born in Cambridge Ontario, or as he remembers, Hespeler Ontario and joined the Torchmen back when it began. He and his wife Roberta now live in St. Catharines where they raised three children who are now grown with families of their own.

Mike, who was an accomplished water skier in his youth, started out singing “rock and roll” as a teenager, but when he found the Lord he traded his “doo-waps” for praises, singing with many groups before joining the Torchmen. For many years he hosted “Gospel North” a radio program in the Niagara region playing both current and “Golden Oldies” of southern gospel music. The CGMA showed their appreciation to Mike when he was awarded a “Lifetime Achievement” award.

Now that the children have left the nest, Mike and Roberta enjoy travelling. He used to enjoy finding new jokes, but gave that up a few years ago.” (source: https://www.torchqt.com/)

Way to go Mike. We’re sure your parents are still admiring you.
