Your dad was a great friend and confidant, he loved all of you very much.
We met well over 25+ years ago and he was like a big brother to me, we had a lot of similarities, both having 4 kids, starting a business and just a strong mutual respect for each other throughout the years. I got to know him best when Shaun had passed by helping do some volunteer work on the dugout at the ball field. Your dad was just one of those people you come across in life that you could count on for support, friendship and advice.
I'm blessed to have known him and honored that he always embraced me and gave me the chance to meet all of you. We spent many days (pipe filled rooms) talking about all of your experiences in sports, schools and then your transition into the company, he was so proud of all of you and loved you all very very much.
Please give my love to your Mom, Brenda, and Michael and all of your families.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Just a quick note to tell you how devastated I was to hear about the passing of your father. He was such a special person, and both he and your entire family have always meant so much to me. It was a tragic way for such a beautiful life to have transitioned, but I am sure that he is now with your brother, watching over all of you. May you find peace in the knowledge that he is still with you, every moment of every day.

Kevin,
Fr. Bill sent me the eulogy you prepared for your father's funeral. You captured it beautifully. I remember your dad fondly. He became a member of the bereavement group at St. Mary's after your brother's death and he was able to reach out to many who found themselves in similar situations.
Please accept my expression of sorrow and promise of prayer for you and your family.

Hi Mike and Kevin,
Speaking with Bob Britnell the other day, he informed me that your father passed away. I am terribly saddened by the loss of your dad. I met your father years ago when working on the East Cambridge Bank project and he immediately made an impact in my life. Even though we just met, each time we spoke he would give me words of advice to get ahead in life. I will always remember our conversations. He will be deeply missed and my sincere condolences to you to the both of you and your family.

Let me tell you a little about Big Mike
Most of you knew my Dad as Michael or Mike, but he was also known by many
other nicknames from those of us who loved him. The Big Guy, Big Mike, Morty, UM & Slim were just a few of them as well as his numerous grandfather names that evolved over the years which included Bups, Bupsy, Puppy & Papa.
Dad took particular delight in assigning nicknames to all us, but there was not necessarily a rhyme or reason to how he came up with them. I was affectionately referred to as Mr. Magoo; Michael was called Mickey; and Brenda, of course being the apple of dad's eye was known as Twinkle Toes due to her nimble feet, NOT. My Aunt Maureen was known as Moe, My Aunt Barbara as Babs, David Malay as The Boof, Donna Malay as DM, Elizabeth Quirk as Betty Dimples & Matt Blute as Spanky to name a few.
But these terms of endearment were not limited to family members. My father had a unique ability to make a life long connection even with those he only knew for a short time.
Family
Big Mike was born in North Adams, but when he 18 years old he moved to the
big city of Lowell to attend college. Even though he was what people in Lowell would refer to as a “blow in” he was able to woo and win the heart of a lovely and impressionable Lowellite, Dottie Hession. But my mother tells it a little differently and that he didn't do it as smoothly and as effortlessly as he claims. Those of you who know my Mom well can certainly understand that.
He would spend the next 47 years of his life with her. A full and rich
life in which they nearly did everything together. And until the day that we lost him, he would profess to anyone that would listen they were a “great team”.
“Without your Mother, he always told us, "I would not be who I am today nor would I have ever been able to accomplish what I did both professionally, but more importantly, with this family.”
Memories
We have so many great memories of our Dad, particularly on the many family vacations we took growing up. Dad was at his finest during those trips. Many of you may recall the series of National Lampoon's Vacation movies. Well, our Dad was Clark Griswold long before Chevy Chase ever was. He would pile us all into his wood paneled “family truckster” station wagon packed to the hilt with coolers of drinks and food and the luggage strapped to the roof tied ever so tightly that even a hurricane could not remove it from the roof racks.
And off we would go to all these exotic destinations. ......Like North Adams, Hampton Beach, Maine, the White Mountains and of course Falmouth. OK, maybe exotic wasn't exactly entirely accurate but, trust me,my Dad could make an unforgettable adventure out of a ride to the local hardware store.
And even though we never got to Wally World we did get to Disney World as
well as Busch Gardens in Florida, Washington DC, Pennsylvania Amish Country, Charleston, South Carolina and Bermuda, multiple times.
Those trips will provide a lifetime of indelible memories, which we will
cherish forever.
Perseverance
When we lost my brother Shaun 26 years ago in a construction accident, my Dad was devastated by the loss. Though my mother was the glue that kept our family together, my Dad was the solid rock foundation that held us up during our darkest times. He epitomized the saying “when the going gets tough, the tough get going”..And he got going right away.
First, he created a scholarship fund in my brother Shaun’s name that to
date has awarded over $50,000 to graduating seniors at Chelmsford High School. You would have never heard the amount escape my father’s lips as he felt it was his obligation to help the less fortunate and he surely did not need the recognition associated w/ his generosity.
And soon thereafter, when the Chelmsford Little League needed to build a new Field on Rt. 110, my Dad was the first one to step forward. During the ceremony for the dedication of the field, the Little League Board of Directors described how the field came to fruition, this was what they said:
“Fortunately, like in fairy tales, a “white knight” came to our rescue.
That “white knight” was Mike Scully. Mike not only absorbed the lion’s share of the cost, but he constructed a field that far exceeded our fondest
dreams. Mike’s work on the field was a labor of love. He wanted the field that would bear his son’s name to be a fitting memorial to a truly wonderful young man.We think Mike achieved that goal.”
I KNOW you did, Dad.
Balance in life
My brother Michael and I were tremendously fortunate to have had the
opportunity to work with our Dad every day. He taught us much about the virtues of hard work, but more importantly, about integrity. Anyone who dealt with my father professionally knew that his word was his bond and to treat everyone as we would want to be treated. The volume of people whom my Dad knew professionally that have reached out to us over the last few days speaks volumes about not only how they felt about him professionally, but more importantly, personally. Dad had several sayings that he would repeat to us over the years, which will continue to inspire Michael and I moving forward. They included: “Persistence pays dividends”, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"
And most prominently “Have no regrets”.
My father also emphasized, not only to Michael and I, but to anyone who
he felt needed to know, that it was very important to maintain balance in
one's life. To do so, he told us, was to understand that life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity and you are keeping all of them in the air at once. But one day you will come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls – family, health, friends and integrity are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they can become irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.
Once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, only then will you
have true balance in your life which Dad felt was extremely important.
My Hero
During my brother Shaun’s funeral, my sister Brenda gave a eulogy in which
she described a story when Shaun was a toddler and my Dad needed to replace a cracked window. He used a hammer to break the pane so that he could replace it only to find out that later Shaun hammered out the new window so that he could help my father fix it again and be “Just like Dad”. Speaking for myself as well as Michael and Brenda, we could not have asked for a better role model, mentor and, most importantly, father to look up to and want to emulate. We, too, want to be “Just like Dad”. He truly was Our Hero. My only regret is that I never told him that.
I take solace in the fact that both Michael and I were with him just before he was transferred to ICU and that we were able to tell him that we loved him. I know that my Mother and Brenda take great comfort in that as well.
I can only hope that when it is my time to leave this world, I will be considered half the man that my dad was.
Grandchildren
My Dad was like most grandparents whenever he would talk about his grandchildren, but there also seemed to be an added something or twinkle in his eye when he did. He could not wait to have grandchildren. It is somewhat ironic that the baby of our family was the first to provide one.
When my nephew Shaun was younger he used to come over to my parent’s house every week and I know my Dad cherished the weekly drive bringing him home as the two of them belted out Toots & the Mattels songs. From his trip to Vietnam to pick up my niece Nora to decorating Emma’s bike & Caitlin’s wagon for the annual Fourth of July Neighborhood Parade in Falmouth.
They will no longer be able to have Bups read them “Twas the Night Before Christmas” on Christmas Eve as they all pinched and poked each other trying to get the closet to Bups on his lap. Shaun, Emma, Nora, Caitlin & our new baby to be when you are older and are able to read Bup’s Eulogy, I hope you realize that these were truly the moments that my Dad and your Bups lived his life for.
In closing I would like to recite the Prayer for a family:
Lord, bless our family,
All of us now together,
Those who are far away, and
All who are gone back to you.
May we know joy, and may we
bear our sorrows in patience
Let love guide our understanding of
each other.
Let us be grateful to each other.
We have all made each other what we are
O Family of Jesus,
Watch over our family
From Dottie, Brenda, Shaun Patrick, Kevin, Michael, Huib, Erin, Shaun
Michael, Emma, Nora, Caitlin and your latest grandchild due in March.
All of our love, Dad.
Dad & Shaun - We will cherish your memories and we know we will see you again.

I was shocked to read of your brother passing. I did not know Mike, however I remembered seeing him play basketball at St Joe High School. He wore a face mask. Also, I would ask Linda on occasion how Mike and his family were doing after they lost their son. That was very painful for them. I trust he will rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are will with you.

To Dotty and family. I am so saddened by the loss of my good friend Mike. Although I haven't known Mike for a terribly long time, I feel like I have known him all my life. I really enjoyed his spontaneous visits to my office, and my visits to his, where we both talked about our families, our love of wine and our shared values of the importance of spending time with our children and coaching our children's youth teams. Mike would have stayed in my office all day and talk, but he knew eventually either Kevin or Michael would come over and get him. He was so proud of his grandchildren that he would bring them over to my office every time they were with him. Just last week he brought his granddaughter Nora over to see me. After our chat, I gave Nora a candy cane, and I said goodbye to Mike. Little did I know that this would be the last time Mike and I would see each other. I am going to miss you Mike. Till we meet again my friend.

Dear Scully Family,
We here at the Green Lawn Sprinkler Company are so sorry for your loss. Mike would come in to talk business but the conversation always turned to family and life. He was such a nice man. He always made me smile when he came into our office. Always so well spoken and well kept, even when he came in to get sprinkler parts when he was working in his yard. He will be greatly missed, by many, I am sure.
God bless you.

Dear Dottie and Family,
First of all, my deepest condolences for your loss. I was Mike's room-mate at Phi Psi fraternity for a couple of years as juniors and seniors at Lowell Tech.
I am so sad that I didn't get to see him on my visit to Lowell in October, 2009 when I attended my 50th year LHS reunion. I was just asking my cousin, Phil Balamotis, last week if he had seen Mike over the last few years and he said that he hadn't. Phil called me this morning with the sad news of Mike's passing.
It has been over 45 years since I have seen or talked with Mike, which is so strange in that we were very close friends during our time at Lowell Tech.
I have so many great stories of our business ventures, social escapades and fraternity happenings during that time.
My prayers are with you and your family.
Love and blessings,
