The Grunsky family wishes to extend our sincere condolences to the friends and family of Mike Bates. As our "go-to-plumber" for many years, Mike was as much a friend as a terrific tradesman. We could call him any day of the week, any time of day, and he would make an effort to help us out. His plumbing skills and support will be sorely missed, and the animated conversations that accompanied his visits will never be replaced. Thank you, Mike.
