On the third anniversary of Michael's passing, I can only say what I said back then. Those how knew and loved him simply cannot believe he is gone - even now. He loved and was loved. Period. Most especially of course by his wife Patricia and his daughters , Christine & Victoria, parents Mary & Martin, sister Brenda and all his wider family but also by all who ever had the privilege of meeting him. He was simply the best of men. He fought the good fight, he finished the race and he kept the faith.
Always in our minds and our hearts Michael. From your loving Irish family in Dublin.
Your Cousin John & Aunt Annie.

Very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He had a wonderful sense of humor, and made me laugh every time we met up! Mike was a kind and generous soul, and my condolences to his Family and Friends.
Eternal Rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may Perpetual Light shine upon him!

Mike was a good friend and mentor to me in the last days of Arthur Andersen and the early days of Protiviti. My deepest condolences to his family.

Mike and I crossed paths many times over the past 50 years.
We both attended:
St. Denis School. Mike was in fifth grade when I was in eighth grade.
Marist High School. Mike was a freshman when I was a senior.
We both worked as internal auditors:
Mike audited the Keebler elves at their Elmhurst HQ while I was Auditor at Elmhurst National Bank.
We both volunteered for the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), serving as President, Board and International Committee members to create and advance internal audit education programs.
Mike's personal and professional contributions to both the Chicago Chapter and to IIA International are remarkable.
He will be greatly remembered and missed by all who knew and worked with him.

Michael was an unbelievable guy and I really cannot believe I am writing these message. The fun we had in 1979 when I came over from Ireland to visit as a 15 year old, the subsequent trips he made to London to visit me and not so long ago, again in Dublin with his family.
We are thinking of you all - Patty, the girls, Mary & Martin and Brenda - back home in Ireland. This is the worst of times but we will never forget Michael and know that in the words of Billy Joel, "someday we'll all be gone but lullabies go on and on, that's how you and I will be."
Gone from us now but never forgotten - an incredible man with an even more incredible legacy of love. We will never forget.
With all our love from Dublin,
Your Cousin and Aunt, John & Annie Deane (O'Keeffe)
