Not sure what to say?

I am shocked and saddened by MIke's passing. He was the consummate seaman: calm, knowledgeable, caring, and unflappable in the face of adversity. He leaves us with an example of a life well-lived and an example well set. He was one of the best. My thoughts and condolences go out to his family.

I had the good fortune to work with Captain McCullagh on the CCGS Bartlett for 5 years. He, as my Captain, and me on deck. I admired him and learned from his demeaner on board. I never saw him flustered as he always dealt with any situation with a clear head and calm demeaner. I also enjoyed the discussions we would have on the Bridge about our dogs. A great man and Captain and one that so very many have learned from. Fair winds, Cap McCullagh.

Michael (aka Gilligan in our childhood, ironically, now being a Captain) lived next door to us in the 60's on Cowper Street. Mike and my brother Dave were always together entertaining us all doing all kinds of experiments. We all loved Mikey as he was the funniest kid on the block.

My sincere condolences to family and friends.

My sincerest condolences to all. Definitely, an absolute pleasure, to know and Sail with. So long Mike

Sincere condolence's to all of Mikes family and friends! Mike was certainly a great co-worker, colleague and friend. Someone whom any other Captain would and couldn´t help but notice his very calm demeanor, no matter the circumstances amd think to yourself: "Mike has traits I want to massage into my style"....such a great guy. We always seemed to wind up somewhere together having a pint (very rarely planned) and believe it or not the conversations were rarely CG work related, but always...

My deepest condolences go out to Mike´s family. He will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace dear friend. RFWE

My condolences to Mike's family and friends. I had the pleasure of sailing with Mike on many occasions. He truly was one of the good guys, a good officer, and always thought of others. Sleep well knowing the pain of your loss is just a small indication of the greater value you brought to us.

Michael: it has been honour knowing you and I´m very sad to see you go May you Rest In Eternal Peace
