For many years Mike was a genuine pleasure to know, a real friend and great colleague. He was such a talented and delightful person. He and Eileen were always a wondrous joy to see. The very best to all the Sugrue family, Mike and Eileen are fondly remembered.

To Kevin and Shiela and all the Sugrues, we wish to send on our sincerest condolences on hearing of Michaels passing. We have the most amazing memories of our time spent in Longridge and how generous Michael was letting two random strangers stay in his house and entertain us so much. He was such a gentleman and we are deeply saddened for your loss, Mo and Pete

It is with great sadness that I learned of Michael's death but with great fondness when I think of time shared with him. His ability to take an interest in people, their thoughts and ideas on all matter of subjects. I feel honoured to have got to know him over the past 14 years. My sympathies to Kevin, Brian, Brendan, John and Sheila and their families. Also to his brother Donal and sister Moira. May Michael rest in peace. Ellen Cox
