Michael Joseph Goggin

Mike treated me as a younger brother.

Mike will never be forgotten. He is a teacher of men. His positive examples left a huge, wonderful mark on my spirit.

Mike will always be in my heart.

To Nancy and family, Mike was a good man and attorney. He was kind compassionate and just an all around great person.

Mike is one of the good guys; kind compassionate and loving.

So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you. Take good care of yourself.

Will always remember you! You were a helleva lawyer, but a better man than anything else!

Dear Nancy and The Goggin Family,
Mike, his brother Jack, and I grew up in east Oak Park and attended St. Catherine of Siena and Fenwick together. As years rolled by, we all became lawyers, and when my clients needed Mike's special skills, I was fortunate to have Mike to refer them to. He never disappointed them, and always took time to thank me.
He was a Goggin and will be missed by all who met him.
We were away from Oak Park last week and could not attend the wake or funeral to offer our sympathies in person. Please accept them now.

To the Goggin Family
I was very saddened to hear about the passing of Michael Goggin. Mike was a first rate lawyer and gentleman who was very devoted to the legal profession. He served his clients and the People of the State of Illinois with the utmost professionalism and integrity as a criminal defense attorney and Assistant States Attorney. I always enjoyed talking to Mike about the law and football. I know he was especially proud of working with his son. Mike was also a dedicated teacher who taught trial advocacy and shared his knowledge to numerous students. My condolences and thoughts and prayers to the Goggin family. May Mike's memory be eternal.

HE WAS DEFINITELY A TRUE FRIEND HE TOOK CASES TO HARD OUR SINCERE PRAYERS GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY... AWESOME LAWYER

So sorry to hear about Mike's passing. He was very welcoming to myself and my wife Jill when we moved to the 1000 block of North Humphrey in the early 70's. We had many good times at the block parties and at different sporting events. My condolences to his family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Dear Nancy and entire Goggin family. Our hearts are broken for you. My name is Ginny and I knew Mike from the 26th and California community. He was a brilliant, honorable, and kind opponent.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Mike, and you, will remain in our prayers. With love.

Mike,we will surely miss you.

I did not know how big Mikes heart was, when he strongly and lovingly took my brother Robbie in his and Nancys home after my beautiful mom passed away. What a big guy Mike was I was put in shock when Robbie told me he passed. And Nancy, she lost her partner in a great life they shared what a big loss. I love you Mike I pray you feel this up in Heaven Bridget Hanson Lugai

Mike will always be remembered as one of the best trial attorney's the State had! He will be missed. May he rest in the Lord's peace.

Pam and I wanted to offer our deepest condolences to the entire Goggin Family. During the time Mike and I taught together at Loyola, I got to know him very well. Pam and I shared many dinners with him and the trial practice team during those days. Mike made those dinners very special. He was larger than life, but also showed his warmth and love for everyone. We will miss him.

Nancy and Mike's family, so sorry to hear this news. Mike was a West Side Irish icon and absolutely great company. Being in his presence was just plain fun, such a terrific guy. God rest his lovely soul. He was indeed "one of the great ones."

Nancy, Brie, Charlie,
Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your families on your loss.

Condolences to Michael´s family.
Mike was a fellow lawyer who always had a smile.
He was a great friend and lawyer.
May his memory be eternal.
James P. Tatooles, Wheeling, I´ll.

So sorry to hear about Mike. He was my partner in the State's Attorney's Office and tried his first felony jury with me. He was a great lawyer and even a better person. He will be missed.

This breaks my heart for Mike and his family. He was my trial advocacy instructor at Loyola and a force larger than life in the courtroom - I was blessed to learn from him and, once I became an attorney, I always enjoyed seeing him in court. He was loved by all and will be missed greatly.

Michael, was the best. He guided my family through dark times and showed unwavering professionalism that grew to a friendship. He was loyal, funny, and a "Bulldog." He touched/saved many lives. Michael, was forever passionate about law and frequently told me he will never retire., (he then scolded me for asking.) He was crazy about Nancy and his family- My heart goes out to you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Deep Condolences to the entire Goggin Family

I was so sad to hear of this. Mike was a great guy, larger than life, and always fun to be around! He was a great husband and dad who embraced "It's a Wonderful Life" with his large family! May the fun and pleasant memories of him bring you comfort and inspiration.

Mike was a force of nature. You heard him before you saw him enter a room . Then the fun began. I lucky to have known him since grade school days at st Catherine´s. His friends numbered in the thousands. Really.. you couldn´t mention his name in chicago or lake Geneva. Always a mike story. Rest In Peace dear friend. My heartfelt condolences to Nancy and family.

Nancy my friend, my condolences..I am so sorry to hear the passing of Mike..Mike was a hell of a guy and cared so much of other people and friends..He will surely be missed..

I am saddened to learn of Mike's death. Bigger than life, funny, warm-hearted. From an episode so many years ago, Mike would always greet me..."Oh Tom!" in a sing-song way, and with a big smile. What a guy. Best. Tom Jacobs, Vero Beach, Fl.

What a fantastic human being Mike was! Very smart, funny, decisive, and committed to his family, friends and clients. It was a privilege to know him. To this day I laugh to myself about a Badger football Saturday many years ago that I spent with Mike and his friends at Mike's old frat house in Madison. What a wonderful guy! We will miss you amigo.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Our prayers are with you and your family. Mike and Deb Capraro

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Goggin family during these difficult times.

So sorry I can’t be there in person to honor one special man in my life. Since Kindergarten Mike has been a friend extraordinaire.
He called me Sunshine, but in reality he was the Sunshine in all of are lives. Everyone was greeted by him with that huge smile, sparkling eyes, and hug. Once he took you in his circle, there was nothing he wouldn’t do for you. As busy as he was he never said no to a request for help. The only tough part of being his friend was trying to leave a party before he decided it was time to go. He defined Party Animal!
70 years of a being a friend is not long enough. Your shoes can never be filled. Blessed to call you friend.

Sara, I was truly saddened to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts, as is your entire family. My condolences are truly shared at this difficult time.

Great attorney!
Very charismatic--he will b missed!
R.I.P. MIKE GOGGIN.

To all of the Goggins,
May you all find comfort in.a million Mike stories. I have fond memories of Mike’s quick smile and sense of humor. May God’s light carry you through your grief by remembering his smiling face. https://www.legacy.com/funeral-homes/obituaries/name/michael-goggin-obituary?pid=201718247&v=batesville&page=2

Dear Nancy,
Ther are no words to express the loss of Mike, but you will always have a memories of the love you and Mike shared. Our prayers are with you.

Our sympathy and special prayers for Mike and all his family and friends.

Dear Nancy, of these three gifts, life, love and faith, love is the greatest gift and I am certain that Mike's love for you is eternal. What a loss to all of us, who could tell a story better than Mike, make one smile and his joy of life should remind us all to live life to it's fullest. Some people simply cannot be replaced and I will always remember Mike and his joy of life, family and love. With respect and sadness, annie.

May he rest in peace and may God giving you comfort and strength during this difficult time

Knew Mike a little at Fenwick, same class '65. He was a class act then and continued to be.
