‘Uncle Mike’ will be missed by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins, all of with whom he shared wonderful memories.
Mike cherished his family and friends. As the elder brother of the Ganley Clan, he was always glad to plan a gathering, set-up a sport pool, and ‘man the grill’ to keep his family close.
He nourished his friendships daily with simple phone calls or a quick coffee.
Born in Athlone, County Westmeath, Ireland, Mike traveled across the sea with his family as a young lad excited to start his new life in Canada. Landing in Windsor in 1956, this was the beginning of what would become a legacy for his family and the community he would call home.
A grocer at an early age, Mike had a 20-year career with Miracle Food Mart, managing a store in Windsor and opening stores across the province. It was a natural step on April 11, 1988, to open his own business as an independent grocer, known as LOEB Westminster. He built a thriving business feeding both the family and community he loved.
A man filled with charity exemplified by his exceptional and tireless fundraising for all causes, and the community. He volunteered and organized many events for Hospice Windsor, Big Brother, Alzheimer Society, the United Way, and many more. He is a past president of the Kiwanis Club East, where he mentored others.
Mike and Colleen traveled the world, where he was able to play golf on many of the world’s finest courses. His passion for the game continued throughout retirement, establishing himself as a Junior Golf Referee. His desire to help others was evident in his tireless volunteerism to support the Jamieson Junior Golf Tour so young golfers could pursue their passion for the game.
The family would like to send a special and heartfelt thank you to Windsor Regional Hospital 4 West. A long list of talented nurses, doctors, and staff, all who provided Mike and his family with compassionate care. We are so grateful.
When it came to leisure, every spare moment was spent golfing, no matter the season or the temperatures. Extreme weather or the dark of night were never barriers.
Farewell Dear Mike, until we meet again. Hit them long and straight on the fairway in heaven.
If you so desire, donations in Michael’s name can be made to a charity of your choice.
