May the fondest memories of the love you shared together – that brought even more love into the world -surround you, bring you strength and warm your hearts knowing that this kind of love will never be lost. Those who know you and your family well have such deep respect and appreciation for Mike that the kindest of words reflecting on Mike’s life seem to convey only a fraction of what he meant to you. May the many cherished times you had with Mike stay with you forever giving your hearts the strength and a lift you need to carry on.

    I played many hard fought hockey games against Mike , just thinking about it I can feel the clutch of his glove on my shoulder or the little jab of his stick and hear his laugh as he skates by me .Always a pleasure to see and talk to Mike . I had just spoken to him not to long ago , and yes you guessed it , at the hockey rink in Lucan .
    RIP Mike and keep your stick on the ice !
