Mike Church, a successful logger, gold miner and heavy-equipment operator who built the Aberdeen Glen golf course in Prince George, is being remembered for his enthusiasm and vision.
“He had tremendous vision, not just with building the golf course,” said Mike’s son Craig. “If he saw a mountain of dirt that had to be moved he had a plan in his mind and looked for the easiest, quickest way to do it, and he was so good at it. Church started building the 100-lot Aberdeen Glen subdivision at the same time as the golf course. The residential lots he sold helped pay the golf construction costs. He also built the Del Haven town home community on the north side of the Nechako River just west of the Yellowhead Bridge.
