To Uncle Mike, another NFL season is here and I got to thinking about you and how each and every year we would talk about the upcoming season and who we liked to win it all. Today's is your birthday too and you will be happy to hear/see that your family has gone down to the track in memory of you. Right now, I am sure they are talking about old times, having fun, laughing a lot, and undoubtedly shedding a few tears too. You see Mike, as Abraham Lincoln once said, "in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years". From the stories I have heard and from all my 15 years of being around you, I know you had lots of life in your years. I am so glad to have met you and I can honestly say you made the life in my years better too. I have many great memories....from all the kitty whist games, the trivia games, the Risk games, to our Ebay days and all of our conversations about sports memorabilia, card collecting, movies, football, and life in general. I will forever miss you but never forget you. Like you would always say "I dunno Mike, I just don't know!" Love you, Tom

Mike, I am grateful to you for many different things, the most important being that you were an example for Tom to role model himself after that I have benefited enormously from. As well, you shaped the lives of my children, your nieces and shared your stories, love and time with. I am forever blessed to have known you and benefited by your involvement in our lives.

Uncle Mike: I love you so much and I will miss you. You were the best story teller I have ever met, I will retell your stories forever to other little kids who may not have had the chance to hear them. You are a wonderful man who touched everyone's heart. You don't even know how much you will be missed, I will remember you forever. I will always look after Demi and Reid to make sure they are okay because I know how important they were to you. Love always, Lindsay

Pa:

Its memories that live forever, the thoughts and feelings a person leave behind are truly their legacy. You Michael left a legacy of love, loyalty, and smiles, your warmth will be felt by all that knew and loved you with every thought of you or mention of your name. You mastered the art of being there; always available for an encouraging word when life felt it’s heaviest. Your presence brought confidence and safety to those around you always knowing you would catch them before they fell. You were a man of great strength, physically, mentally, but most importantly in spirit. Your spirit nourished all that drank from its well. Your fierce loyalty to your parents, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews was only eclipsed by the loyalty you displayed for your own family, Pat, Suzanne, Demi and Reid. You were always there brother through good and bad, happy and sad, bringing your unique slant on things. You had a way of making everyone feel special; each person in our family had a special relationship with you. You made sure we all felt loved and cared for, you were a great listener, even when there was nothing you could do to help. You carried on where our father left off, teaching us how to live the right way even when it was hard. Insisting there was a certain code of behavior that must be followed under all circumstances. Your goal was to protect those you loved from the pain of life, you would have taken all of the pain unto yourself if you could have, and you grew frustrated when you couldn't protect people from pain. You were easy to hurt, but you healed quickly as your resilience was fueled by love. You demonstrated poise and dignity in the midst of life’s challenges; you were an example for us all. You have gone home now reunited with our Father and your two greatest friends, Ann and Jack, enjoy their company and rest knowing your work here on earth is done. I witnessed the fruits of your work over the past few days I saw your strength, your love, and your loyalty, in Pat, Suzanne, Demi and Reid, they are all you had hoped they would be, they truly loved their Pa. You’ve done well Brother be at peace. Love your (little) brother Tom.

Demi and Reid,

There isn't anything that anyone can say or do to take away your pain and sorrow. Just know that we are here for you anytime you want to talk or need a hug.

Remember that Pa will always be with you, with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face, he'll always be with you. He was a wonderful man and will be missed tremendously. Remember everything he taught you and keep his memory alive. Live well and make him proud!

To my father, The most important man in my life, excluding my son. Thank you daddy, for all your solicited and unsolicited advice through the years. None of which was ignored.

But most of all, thank you dad, for being my dad, and loving me! I LOVE YOU, and miss you...forever. XOXO Suzanne

There is so much I have to thank you for. All the late night talks, all the walks, all the tea you made me and all the laughs and smiles you gave me.

I will take you with me wherever I go, you will always be in my heart. Tom and I and the boys love you so much. Tell Mom and Uncle Jack I love and miss them. Goodbye for awhile my Uncle and Friend.
