Michael C. Plunkett

Dear Plunkett Family,
I think of Mike often. I can still picture and relive conversations when he was so passionate about something, whether it was his family, social issues, or spiritual issues. He stays alive in my heart.

Michael was an awesome guy - What i most rememberd was leaving McMaster and going across the street to smoke while Michael discussed all kinds of esoteric philosophies of life, most of which i didnt get! He was an inspiration to me and many of the clients and staff! Your light will always shine for those that knew you Michael.

To the Plunkett Family,
Michael changed the lives of so many with his passion and commitment to those who did not have a voice. He will always be in my heart and the hearts of many. The world is a better place because of him and his love. Josh he was always so proud of you and you were the apple of his eye...always. Lynn, you two were a match made in heaven. God Bless You.

To the Plunkett Family,
I was so sorry to read about Michael's passing. I am the daughter of Muriel & Alex Kerlin from Congers, and my parents and Steve and Naomi were very good friends. I spent alot of time at the Plunkett house, and was always treated like a little sister by the boys. I remember how sad we all were when you moved to Colorado. May you all find peace in the loving memories of Michael.

To the Plunkett Family: You are in my prayers. Mike and I were in school together. I will miss him.

Mike will be sorely missed in the community, his quiet passion and devotion to seeing lives changed will live on for generations to come in the hearts of those who really "got it". I was greatly inspired by his passion and commitment, and it changed the course of my career and my heart for the addicted. Peace to you Mike, and condolences to your family.

Mike, you gave me a chance, and that changed my life! Thanks for believing in me! You will live on in the hearts of the many people whose lives you touched! My condolences to your family!

Michael was a good friend and wise consult. I first met him in 1990 at the Tejon Street Clinic and he taught me all I needed to know in the world of substance abuse. His quick wit and easy going nature made him a friend to all who met him. He carried a medal for the patron saint of lost causes and cherished the downtroden. Passionate about his work, he truly cared about the people he helped. Esteemed by co-workers, he was a leader. Micheal was a good dad and spoke frequently about his beloved...
