I had the honor and privledge to have worked with "Big Mike" in the 20 Sqd. for a number of years. He was our go to guy. Whenever you had a problem with an investigation or a boss, you went to Mike. On a lighter note, whenever you were missing a sandwich or a pint of ice cream, you also went to Mike!! God Bless him and his family

The Eulogy of Michael Patrick Rooney
April 28, 1942- July 19, 2009
written by Tara Terry
on behalf of Jean, Maureen & Patti

It doesn't matter how...

This is not the first time I have started without knowing where to start. All I can say is from Manhattan to Montauk you were such a big part of my life. Thank you for being my friend, and knowing which direction to point me in. I miss you Mike.

Our condolences to Jean and family, Margie, Kevin and all of theirs. The last time we saw Mike was in 2002, after our father's funeral, but he will always be my big football playing/cop cousin.
