Uncle Mike. I remember as a little boy being in awe of his ability to crack walnuts in his hands. I was probably a little scared of him and his gruff humour. Over the years though, I really enjoyed visiting with him , ‘getting’ more of his humour and sharing his enjoyment of wrestling. You will be missed!
Sending my condolences to the family . Rest in peace . Uncle Mike

My deepest sympathies to the entire Ostafichuk family. Mike lived across the street on Muggah Street years ago and truly was a great neighbour. Gone but not forgotten. RIP Mike.
My condolences to the Ostafichuk family. Mike and I as pre teenagers played together almost every day. Lived directly across the street on Muggah St. Great memories of some fun times.
My sincere condolences to the family of Mike’s passing.
I haven’t seen Mike for quite awhile but remember him fondly and enjoyed his wry sense of humour. Special love sent to his children, especially Annie at this time. ❤️
