My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. Dr Michael was my doctor for over 40 years. He was such an amazing doctor and person. always took the time to talk to you. Even though I only saw him once a year, he remembered all about my family. He also helped deliver my granddaughters. He will be truly missed but his legacy will go on.

Sending my deepest sympathies to all of the Husseys on the death of your father/husband - such an amazing life he lead and beautiful legacy he has left behind. I have so many fond memories of Dr. Hussey taking me to numerous Cubs games. One of my favorites was when he drove around Chicago trying to find the hotel where the Reds were staying and we actually found Pete Rose! It was always a fun time and I'm lucky to have those great memories. I saw him a few years ago at mass and he told me where all his grandchildren were in school/jobs and he could not have been more proud. May you be comforted by all of your warm memories and may the angels lead him into paradise.
