Just recently heard this news.. Saddened but know he is now happily riding motorcycles with that infectious smile. Anyone that had the honor of knowing this dedicated family man knew he would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need and have great stories to go with it. To such a kind and friendly neighbor, rest peacefully and ride free.

This man was technically my brother-in-law but was more a true brother and best friend. If you knew him you know he was the type of guy that was always there for his family and friends. Over the years we spent so many good times together. I will truly miss my conversations with him. My birthday call with him singing happy birthday out of tune to me. I will miss his kindness. The world has grown a little darker since his passing. I can truly say I loved this guy. Rest in peace I hpe we will meet again.

Mike aka Mr. B. is one of my dearest friends , ,Knowing him for 45 years, I considered him as being part of my family, and he always considered and treated me as the same , he was so very important to me, I always enjoyed seeing him, laughing with him , sharing good times as well as not so good times. I always looked forward to him calling and singing Happy Birthday not wanting to answer the phone so I could get his singing voice on tape. I'll miss this. I'll miss all of this.I'll miss the birthday lunches, the bike rides..the cups of coffee ..the laughs..all of it. Over the years whenever I needed a helping hand, he never gave it a second thought whether it be a lift so I could catch a flight or coming over to put air in my bike tires..he gave me my bike so I wouldn't have to walk to work, We shared so many laughs together.. he's one of the most thoughtful, kind and generous people I have had the pleasure of knowing. Mike Brophy is a treasure and if you had the pleasure of knowing him...you were better for it..He's in my heart , he will remain there forever..
.Mike > Rest in Peace my dear friend..I Love You and Miss You
