Michael Healey

Hey, Mr. Healey! I was thinking about you the other day. I can´t believe it´s been almost 15 years. You always pushed your students to do the best they could! I remember that day we grabbed coffee, and you told me to do it, don´t try. Well, WE, did it! I´m living my dream of being a dentist and getting married soon. I did a track day the other day and it was fun. I can understand why you loved your cars. I hope you´re enjoying the tracks up there! Thanks again for all you did for us.

Mr. Healey, it has been almost a decade known since you were taken from us way to soon. I am proud to say that your inspiration and guidance allowed me to graduate college and make a short, but successful career(4 years) in the military. Now I work in manufacturing, but still remember you today and have shared my stories from your class with many. Thank you again!

Andy, a student of Mr. Healy, shared the legacy of Mr. Healy tonight at Bella Love at Kadi Fit in Cornelius. What an incredible teacher and legacy to lead!

Mr. Healey was the best teacher and best mentor any student could ever ask for. I still find his advice and pointers helpful to this day. In only 3 more semester I will graduate college with a computer degree and I will say that part of that is because of this great man. We miss you Mr. Healey. I really do and I know all the kids you helped all do as well...
Rest In Peace...

If anyone still reads the guessbook please post something.

It's been maybe 2-3 weeks into 2nd semester of my new year and first thing after I walked inside your old classroom I thought, "it's not going to be the same for my engineering 2 class." Mr. Healey's name is still on the door number sign faded partly missing but when I see that before walking in I remember.
and Happy valentines day Mr. Healey.
(half a day late)

Back in highschool you wrote one of my letters of rec for the airforce academy. After what seems like forever im finally getting things together and seriously pursuing going into the military. I'm trying to go for army warrant officer flight training now. I remember one day you asked me what i wanted to do. "I'm gonna blow stuff up from the sky" maybe I didnt say stuff but you after that you wrote my letter without any questions. I'm still gonna make good on that Healey.

I take pride in the fact I was able to take so many of Mr. Healey's classes. He affected every one of his students' lives in a positive way. I carry a part of him with me every day in his anecdotes. The fact that I'm still learning from them now is a testament to not only his teaching ability, but his capacity for compassion, and his willingness to help his students not just learn the material, but to help us become better people.

Thank you Mr. Healey. Your memory lives on through each and every one of your students.

well its almost thanksgiving
I 'd like to thank the people in my life that has helped me including my friends, family, and the love of my life. And in all of this is Mr. Healey, I'm also thankful for you sir, I used everything you have taught me in such a short time. Happy Thanksgiving to you Mr. Healey.

Happy Thanksgiving Anne, Summer, and the rest of your family out there Mr. Healey.

Throughout the years you see many people's deaths on the news. But its not until you see a familiar face that it really hits home. Mr. Healey was a great influence on hundreds of lives. He was loved by all that knew him. He will be missed. But most important of all, he will be remembered.

You are still so very much loved by us all, I am touched daily. I only wish we had more time - 39 years was not enough.

I think of you everyday Mr. Healey. I'm happy , you know, i'm about to graduate this year... I was literally living in hell , and i came into your classroom, and one day you just sat me down, taking the time, of actually caring, i only thought that happened in movies.. It hit me so hard, and i followed the pace that you set forth. From literally dropping out, to coming back to take your class only, to being able to say that i will graduate is the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life, aside from the honor of knowing that a human being with such a good heart existed , You will always be in my heart.

hello Mr. Healey, A lot of us still come to your guess book. If your reading this
no one is forgeting what a great teacher you were. I read the Guest Book often and think about the day i heard what happened everyday... we love you Mr. Healey....forever and ever.

February 14, Valentines Day. Michael I am missing you sorely - you made all the holidays special. You always said that time was our enemy and that no amount of lifetime would be enough for our love. You were right. I love you always, Anne

Mr. Healey was possibly, no THE greatest teacher Hopewell ever had. If I was having a bad day, I knew I could always look forward to being cheered up during his classes. He also had a great sense of humor, and he was the only man I knew who could keep a straight face while telling the jokes he did.

I will miss him, as will anyone who had the luck of meeting him

Mr.Healey was one of the coolest teachers that i've ever had. His death has been difficult to accept. He was a fun, caring, and easy-going teacher that many people will miss. I don't think that any other teacher will ever be as unique as he was. Farewell Mr.Healey, and thankyou.

Will always be Fighting the Future for with all my friends and classmates, Thank you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

I attended a two week engineering training with Mr. Healey at Duke University in August. We worked on several projects together throughout the training. I want to express my sympathy to his family and let you know that it was a pleasure to get to know him.

Anne,

I am so sorry for your loss. If you need anything please let me know. I would be glad to help in any way that I can. My heart and thoughts go out to you and your family.

Anne,
Words cannot express the depths of my sympathy, but all I can say is that any time you need to just have a hug or someone to listen in nursing school, let me know and I'll be there or find someone to be there if we're not together. Life in a journey and none of us know where our path will take us. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Anne,

So sorry to hear about your loss. If I can be of help in any way, please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Words are not enough to express our sympathy. We are praying for God to help you and your family through this difficult time. We are here not to talk but to listen anytime.

I am so sorry about your husband. My prayers are with you during this very difficult time in your life.I want you to know that I will be here for you if you need any help with nursing school.We will work with you in anyway!

Words are not enough to express our sympathy. We are thinking of you everyday and praying to God to help you and your family through this difficult time. We are here not to talk but to listen anytime.

Mr. Healey, it was great having you as a teacher at Hopewell High. You inspired me to continue on to my work with computers and major in them. I enjoyed all the time in classes with you improving everytime I entered the classroom. It was an honor to be in your class and you will be remembered for a very long time.

Dear Healey family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Healey was a wonderful human being who brought passion and enthusiasm to Hopewell. He will be missed by all of us.

Anne,
Iam so sorry to hear about your love one, our prayers go out to you, God is in control he will healed you through your breavement
your work mate.

Anne,
I was so sorry to hear about your husband. Everyone here at work is thinking of you. You are in our prayers.
Michelle

Mrs. Anne and Family,
We love you and we are here if you need anything.

Mike and I became friends from our teaching of programming in CMS. Though we were at different schools we communicated often and shared ideas. Mike, in my opinion, was a brilliant young man who was willing to do whatever to make himself a better teacher for his students. Our loss (CMS and Hopewell) is great but his families is catastrophic. My heart goes out to his survivors. God is looking after you Michael!!!!

Anne...I am so deeply sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am here for you if you need anything.

You were truly a brilliant man...I vividly remember your presentations when we took classes at Walton Plaza together...no one wanted to go after you...you always stole the show with your amazing work. May your family find peace as you wait for them on the other side :-)

You were a good teacher Mr.Healy you will be missed so much. You helped me get through the good and bad days and taught me alot of things that i didnt know. R.I.P.
Ramisi Hare or as you used to call me the "Lovely Ramisi"

The Healey Family, we all wish to express our condolences to you who knew Mike through his teaching as a member of our Computer Programming Curriculum Committee. Mike would come in to our meetings and sit by me because we had become good friends and he knew I always needed his help to understand and to become a better teacher. One summer I believe Mike put on a workshop for me because he knew how lost I was and many other teachers also attended and learned how to teach Programming from him. He always said he was there for me and I knew he was, and I know how you are going to miss that too. What a wonderful collection of memories people have taken the time to contribute. Michael was loved by all groups of people and made the most of the time he spent with us obviously. I will miss him very much, this is a very sad day for us all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Healey family during this difficult time. Although our encounters with Mr. Healey were brief, he left a lasting impression on our family and we will forever be grateful for his support of our son, Michael.

Mr. Healey, i couldn't beleive your gone...not a soul will forget you, you will never be forgotten and ill never forget you.I never told you i was good at fixing things i love technology and ill continue to work on it my whole life, ill pass your stories, the knowledge you taught me and so on.you are a legend. ps. Brian Tang thanks you for the game poster.*he's going to keep it forever T.T

Mr. Healey was not only one of the best teachers I have ever had, but one of the best people I have ever known. Whenever I walked into his classroom, whether I was supposed to be there or not, he had a smile on his face. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a knack for teaching that few people have. The lessons he taught me, not about computers but about life, will stay with me forever. He was a great man and a great friend and he will be missed.
My prayers are with his family.

I am so sad to hear this news. Michael was a leader among teachers, and as a member of our curriculum team he contributed to the good of Computer Engineering teachers and students not only in Charlotte but across the state. He will be missed.

I am very saddened by Michael's death. He was a great personality and educator. Such a unique person cannot be replaced.

Anne, i am still thinking about you every day , i can not imagine your pain, please know that you are not alone, there are many people who love you and care deeply about you, i am willing to walk beside you in this, just call.

I am so sorry for your loss but know that he is still with us all smiling and saying his encouraging words.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael a while after his arrival to Charlotte. We had a training class together for our Computer Engineering classes and we clicked right away. He always made me laugh and he was a great friend, colleague and supporter of our curriculum area. I received an email from Michael, as I usually did, the day of his accident. He was concerned about a student of his that would be transferred to my school. He knew that I would look out for the student and take him under my wing. I always received kind words from Michael. He was encouraging and always supported me personally and professionally. I was out for about 5 to 6 weeks due to emergency surgery. He emailed me while I was out and came to the district Alignment meeting saying he wanted to see me and make sure I was ok. He told me that he needed me so I better take care of myself. He was definitely a great motivator for me.

Michael, I will truly miss you.

I never thought someone with so much life could die so early. He was my favorite teacher and his class was the class I come to school for he was my hero. He made me laugh but he was also tough he did not play. and when I left he was that one teacher who I knew I would always miss. He saw passed my history and give me the second chance I need I loved him like a father and I will ALWAYS MISS AND REMEBER HIM. I LOVE YOU MR. HEALEY

As I would often see Mr Healey in various stores, we would always talk and I would THANK him again for being a friend and mentor to my son as well as an encouraging teacher that cared. These exchanges occurred even though he graduated several years ago. So, you can see why the students that didn't have him for a class wishes they did.
Pain is in all our hearts and my desire is for there to be comfort in life for those close relatives.
There are a few other great and caring teachers that go the extra mile at Hopewell .....Peace be with all of you.

Anne and Summer- I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you both at this difficult time.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the Healey family and the entire Hopewell community. Please remember that God gives us memories so that we may have flowers in the winter. My thoughts and prayers are with you and may you all find comfort during this difficult time!

Kendra March, former principal of Hopewell High School

Dear Anne,
I am so sorrowful of the loss of your dear soulmate and husband. As I drove to work this morning I heard on the radio the song by Diamond Rio "One More Day". I thought of you and I know you wish you could have just one more day with the love of your life..you will, one day. This time on earth is only a stepping stone to the life we will live in eternity with our Jesus..Thoughts and prayers go out to you as you go through some of the most tragic days in your life...

Mr. Healey was a great teacher and i will never forget him nor will any one else at hopewell.

Anne,
There are no words to express how sorry I am that you have had to suffer such an enormous loss. I have been, and will continue to pray for you and your family. God Bless.

Although I never had the privilege of personally knowing Mr. Healy, I want to express my sympathy to his family, students, the entire staff at Hopewell and his many friends.

My grandchildren have both been in his computer classes, and I know that my granddaughter has looked forward to having more classes with him during the next two-and-a-half years.

They will never forget the lessons he taught them, both the computer lessons and those about friendship and love of life.

I know that the family, school and the people of Huntersville have lost a wonderful father and husband, teacher and friend.

My sympathy to each one of you.

Mr. Healey,

i am very thankful that i got to have you as a homeroom teacher. you were quite hilarious and i always left homeroom with a smile. you will be severely missed.

Anybody that had Mr. Healey In the days That i had his class back in 05 and 06 know That me and him had our good days and our bad days... But, Mr. Healey had so much care for every one of his students he knew us all personally which is what made me continue to return to hopewell 2 years after i had graduated just to see my Favorite Teacher!! I'm gonna miss this man greatly. For the rest of my life he will not be forgotten!

Mr. Healey wasn't just a teacher, but a friend and mentor. We will all miss him greatly.

Mr. Healey,
I may have never been of one of your classes, but you were my teacher. Your spirit and personality were one of a kind. The lunches we shared had and continue to have a great impact on my life and the way I carry myself. You helped me to grow into the person I have become with many laughs along the way. For that, I will always be greatful.

Mrs. Healey,
As you know your husband loved you very much. He told me your story and even spoke of the picture that was in his wallet. He told me to love without worry, for it will all work out in the end. He taught me about time spent away from the one you love can hurt but it can also teach you how to love even deeper. This lesson has served me well and helps every day. His love for you is a shining example of how we should care for one another, and I strive to live with as much passion and love as he did. I hope you are able to find peace in the time to come.

With Love

My prayers and thoughts are with you as the immediacy of this time melts into the hope of being with your loved one in the future life.

Nobody can take away your memories of a smiling, funny, caring individual you call husband, father, son, brother and friend. Keep them safe and pull them out often. They are the things that will pull you through. We were all blessed to have known him.

Hopewell will miss him greatly,

Jean McDaniel, Hopewell Teacher

Anne,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Anne, my sincere condolences from one of your classmates at SHS. I am sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that your friends in Scituate are thinking of you at this sad time.

Anne,
I was just thinking about you the day before I heard about your family's tragic loss. May you find comfort knowing that you have family and friends that are praying to ease the pain you are experiencing. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss.

Mr. Healey was not just a teacher, but he was a friend. He turned your bad days into good days. If you hated school, you would go to school just to be in his class. He taught us so much and had the learning fun. We will always remember him

Mike was a loving brother and devoted son to our parents.

He spent our childhood years full of wonderment and excited about life. His room was full of books; his thirst for knowledge was unquenchable. He was always eager to assist anyone who could use his help. If a neighbor needed his yard cleaned or snow shoveled, Michael was happy to help.

Michael was born in Massachusetts in 1942. I am four years his senior and had plenty of fun times with my little brother. He was so inquisitive; he drove me crazy always asking questions. He was never into sports; he was into people, places and things.

High School was a blast for him; he was a very social animal. The phone never stopped ringing, it was always for Michael. He was Mr. Personality all through High School. I do believe that is why he took teaching in High School so seriously. They were the best years of his life and he wanted the same for his present day students.

The family is deeply grateful for all of the comments and gift of prayers.

Jay Healey (brother)

Mr. Healey was my favorite teacher. I will miss him!

Anne
I just want you to know that I am praying for you and your family during this sad time. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Healey was a great man that made you think in directions you didn't even knew existed. He was the only teacher i have had who really made me think of what i wanted to do with my life after High School. I will miss his influence on me.

Mr. Healey was definitely my favorite teacher during my four years at Hopewell. Having taken several classes with him, he taught us many things, not only about computers, but about life in general. He had a huge effect on many students while he was teaching at Hopewell, and definitely cannot be replaced by anyone. My only regret is not visiting him while I was away at college.

Michael had carried my highschool pictures in his wallet for 38 years, they were returned to me in an evidence bag from the scene of the accident.

He was my best friend for thirty eight years, he never wavered in his loyalty or strength. He was my rock. I miss him too. This picture was taken Christmas day and he said, "you know I look almost as happy as I feel." Thank you all for your kindness. We have suffered a great loss in the center of our family.

Dear Anne, I am so sorry for your loss. As I was reading all about your husband I couldn't help but think about mine. They had a lot in common in the computer world Anne, I am lost for words and would like to say if there is anything I can do for you I will be right there. It is not going to be easy, but with God's help, family and friends you will make it through.

Mr. Healey will be missed immensely at Hopewell. His distinction as a teacher not only permeated the classroom but was apparent to all who he encountered. Mr. Healey always shared an honest, encouraging, kind and thought provoking word. He was a dedicated teacher, co-worker and supporter of education. Our loss is great; for his family the loss is greater.
Rest in Peace Mr. Healey.

Mr Healey was the first teacher to ever really teach me about computers. He taught me everything I know about programming and almost all of my memories about High School happened in his class room. I'll never forget the time me and Kelly built him a pop up book in exchange for a soda or that time when matt chugged a 2 liter of soda and mentos and spent all class spewing up foam. His class was always full of laughter He taught me how to code and encouraged me to learn more about it. I'll never forget the 3 years I spent in that class and I know that wherever Mr Healey is, the people there are lucky to have him. For the rest of us, he'll be missed.

Mr. Healey was and always will be one of the best people/teachers/mentors i have ever met. He helped us, his students, do our best in our school work and in our everyday lives. I want to give my condolences to his family and everyone else who has been blessed with knowing him. He was taken too early and quite suddenly, i hope we can carry on and make him proud.
A quote im sure everybody in our programming class would know he'd like:
"Do or Do Not, There is No Try."

Mr. Healey was one of the funniest people I know. I'll never forget how he always had to make a comment on all of my nonexistent 'dating escapades.' And I envy how he could always keep a straight face no matter what.
I'll always remember you, Mr. Healey. You were such an inspiration and a really great teacher.

Mr. Healey was the reason why i wanted to get into computers. I can remeber the first class i had with and i dont know what it was but he had something uplifting about him. It was like once you walk in that door you were glad to be there. I was in his classes for 3 years and the memoirs that i have i will never forget.
We all will miss his humor and his smile. My prayers are with his family his friend and current and past students. R.I.P Mr. Healey

Mr. Healey was one of the best teachers I've ever had and, by far, the best teacher I had during high school. I only had two classes with him and, though I wish I'd had more, I'm thankful for those two classes.
It was those classes that I always, ALWAYS looked forward too because I knew his class, and he himself, would make my day. I learned so much in that class and I had him to thank for it.
I'm even more thankful that I was able to go back and visit him a few weeks before christmas break. At the time it didn't seem important but now I'm thankful that I got to see him just one more time.

To The Healey family;
Your husband and your father was one of the best men I've ever met, he was fun and very intelligent and he was an amazing teacher. He was truly one of a kind and we will always miss him. <3

Dear Anne & Summer. My cousin Michael was a complicated guy and sporadically, we saw a lot of each other. Especially as we entertained and cared for our mothers. Please call and visit me when you are in the Ft. Myers area. You have my love and sympathy. Lesley

I don't know where to start...Mr. Healey was far more then just a teacher,he was a great friend,a person who you could trust. Mr. Healey changed my life completely, he made me realize what i wanted to do for the rest of my life, . Mr. Healey, i will miss you so much, my heart is shattered but i know that you will be in a better place, watching over all of us,your family,and friends,and students. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family,who have to endure this painful tragedy,R.I.P Mr. Healey, i will always miss you.

Michael was a great brother-in-law. He was a devoted son. The family truly appreciates all of the wonderful comments. His warmth, his smile and his wit will remain with us forever.

When I think of Mr. Healey, the first thing that comes to mind is how nice of a person he was. He was the kind of guy that would do just about anything for anybody. He was so much more than a teacher to most. He was a mentor, an educator, a listener, and most importantly a friend. Anyone who knew him would probably tell you that he had a very sarcastic since of humor…and even when you were the butt of the joke we all knew it was in good fun and down right funny!! If you were unfortunate enough to meet him you really did miss out on a down to earth guy. It still shocks me to know that he has gone on to a better place, but he will always be one of my favorite teachers at Hopewell High School.

You will Truly be missed Mr. Healey.

To the Healey Family and friends,
My son, Nick Hersom, had Mr Healey this year and he was one of his favorite teachers. In fact, Mr Healey had just recently recommended Nick to a technical college. Nick was unaware of this until he spoke to the recruiter. Can you imagine the boost of confidence this gave to my son? In a time when growing up is so difficult, I was thankful then for his gift and even more so now. I am saddened that I did not know such a great person. His wife and family can be proud that he touched so many lives in such positive ways. God chooses special people and from the words I have read He received the best. May you find comfort and peace knowing Mr Healey was loved by many. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Family and Friends of Mr. Healey
Mr. Healey was truly a great teacher and coworker at Hopewell High School. He always had something to say to make you think a little harder or laugh. He will truly be missed. Mr. Healey rest in peace.

Anne and Family,
I'm sorry to hear about your tragic loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Healey was a person who could see what really matters. He used this special vision to make a unique sense of humor, which always made me smile (even if it was to make fun of me a lot of the time). More than that, he understood what it was all his students needed and were capable of, making him one of the most caring teachers I've known. He'll be greatly missed at school, and I'm thankful for everything he did for me and all my friends. Rest in peace.

Michael Healey was a brother to me for almost 25 years. I know he loved teaching at Hopewell. Although my heart is broken now, I am so grateful for the time we had together. Rest In Peace Michael.

Michael, in his 58 years certainly achieved much success in all areas of his life. He was an incredible and phenomenal teacher and person. But Michael truly shined through his personal relationships with friends, students and family.

Whether you’ve known Michael for a short time, or his whole life you know that Michael had a certain way that he made people feel special. He truly had a gift. In a crowded bar, a classroom, a BBQ with friends and family, or a small dinner with friends, Michael had a way to make whomever he was talking to feel like they were the most important person in the world at that moment.

It’s funny how memories you have as a child still make you feel small when you are in the presents of a GREAT man. That was Michael…a GREAT man!

I have known Michael since June of 1969. Over the years and through difficult family circumstances, I lost track of Michael, although I often thought about him and hoped he was happy and well.

I have read many of the tributes to Michael, it is clear that he was truly the wonderful person that I knew. I enjoyed his humor, his compassion and deep sense of responsibility to people and things that were important to him…he was family. Michael lived his life to the absolute fullest and teaching was his passion. I’m convinced that there was no better son, no better brother-in-law and absolutely no better friend that has ever walked this earth.

On Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 we all experienced a huge loss and I will miss him.

While I feel very sad knowing that I won’t get the opportunity to speak to Michael again, I just remember that we don’t get to choose how people come into our life or how they leave us, all we get to choose is how we spend our time with them while they are here with us. Michael knew that and he made every minute count.

Anne, I will remember Michael and you and your family in my prayers.

My heart goes out to all those who have been devastated by the loss of their loved one. I never knew the man personally but I have seen him many times when I passed through the hallways of Hopewell.

It's such a tragic thing to have happened.

Mr. Healey was the best teacher i had ever had and was one to never hesitate on helping people. You were the coolest teacher and when we did stuff wrong we would beat ourselves up to meet up with your standards. Thank You for all your time and patience with us. i am glad to have you as a guardian angel over us and your family is in my prayers.Thank You again

I am currently in Mr. Healey's 3rd period. He always made class fun in any way that he could. He was always smiling and joking with everyone in the class. He was a very concerned and caring teacher, which is sometimes a very rare thing to come by in a high school. Anytime I went into his class in a bad mood he could look at me and know right away that something was wrong and he would make sure that I was okay and joke with me and do anything to make me feel better. He was a teacher that you could go to and talk about anything and he would listen and by the end of the conversation have you laughing about it. He was not only a caring man but an extremely smart one. I have learned so much in his class this semester. I even find myself talking about the things he taught me almost everyday outside of school. School will not be the same without Mr. Healey's caring smile and his jokes. I express my deepest sympathy to his family and to anyone who knew him because anyone who knew him will always remember this man. This is a great loss. Rest In Peace Mr. Healey, you will be truly missed.

Thank you Mr. Healey for everything, you helped me discover many things in my life. You were a mentor, a friend, and a teacher. You will be missed dearly.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mike professionally and personally. A wonderful, compassionate teacher, a pleasure as a friend. He will be deeply missed. My deepest sympathy to his family.

My son had Mr Healey for several classes.Last month he got to present his senior exit essay to several of his classes.Mr Healey helped him in so ways that I will always remember,he wasn't only a teacher to my son, he was a friend.

Mr.Healey always brought joy to my life. I could always depend on him for a good laugh. He will truly be missed by me and others.

You were more than just a teacher, you were one of the biggest influences and inspirations in my life. I remember when you wrote my letter of recommendation to the Air Force academy, and though i did not go, that just goes to show your willingness to help. I will never forget you Mr. Healey. Better teachers might exist, but a better person, there is none.

Mr. Healey was so much more than a teacher, he was a great friend. He was an inspiration to everyone, and had a great influence on me during my time at Hopewell. He was always there pushing me to do my best, and I am truly greatful to have known him. I will never forget the great times I spent in his classes. He will be missed greatly.

We are lucky to have such a wonderful guardian angel looking down on us now.

I did not know Mr. Healey at all. I found out about this on the news. Please know that your family and all the students are in my prayers. I know God will hold you close. Love and prayers always!!

May God take good care of you Michael Healey. It is always tough when we lose a good teacher who was well respected. My prayers go out to the family. God Bless!

To the Family and Friends and Students of Mr. Healey,

I am the parent of (Kelsey Lynn) a student at Hopewell. Kelsey did not have Mr. Healey as a teacher so I never have had the opportunity to meet him. After reading all of these comments I am sorry that our paths never crossed. Anyone can be an educator but it takes a very special person to be a teacher. It sounds like Mr. Healey had those qualities of being a special teacher with unique talents and that he could make that connection with young people. I know that he will be missed at Hopewell by the students and his friends. My prayer for his family is that God will wrap his loving arms around them and hold them tight during these most difficult times. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Healey was one of my BEST/fav. teacher. I'm Greatly sad that he gone now. Also i won't be able to see him on monday when i go back to school!

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

To: Family, Friends, Students of Mr. Michael Healey

With Deepest Sympathy at this time of sorrow. Michael Healey was a great Business Information Technology Teacher. As a CMS colleague, we will truly miss his expertise and passion for teaching.
