My prayers and deepest sympathy to Father Mike's living relatives and to the memory of your father my mother's brother Uncle Angus. From your cousin God grant you eternal rest.

I was a freshman at MSM when Fr. Bennett was still in the seminary. I suffered an incident of anti-Semitism. I don't remember how he found out, but the next thing I knew, I was in the seminary, speaking not only with him, but with Fr. Flynn. These two men showed great love and concern. As it is said in Jewish tradition, May their memories be for a blessing

We have known Fr. Michael for over 20 years when he first came to do a mission in Hines Creek and stayed with us , the friendship continued for the next twenty .Our condolences go out to his family and also to his close
