Mike was one of a kind. Always cheerful and full of life and fun. We had many good times during my time in Boston in the mid 80's and during his visit to Ireland. You will be sadly missed. To Nancy, Maggie, Shane, Aidan, Aunt Mary, cousins Ellen and Neil and all your relatives, we send our sincere condolences.
