Michael O'Hala Obituary
Michael was born in Middle Township, New Jersey on June 15, 1968 and grew up in the small town of West Wildwood, NJ. He met his childhood sweetheart at five years old in Kindergarten in Elementary School where they have been inseparable ever since.
Michael was a man who dedicated his life to service. He was a Veteran. He retired as a soldier (SFC) with the United States Army. He retired from The Atlantic City New Jersey Police Department (610), where he served in several units. He started his police career in West Wildwood, NJ where he became Chief of Police. He worked in Public Works and was also an EMT with the Volunteer Rescue Squad in North Wildwood.
Michael was a humble man. His most proud accomplishment was his Marriage and Family where he strived to be the ultimate role model while always helping others. He had a hard shell with a soft interior. To know him is to Love him.
Michael is survived by his loving wife, Amy O'Hala, of 36 years of marriage, Sons Michael C. O'Hala (Rachel), Zachary O'Hala (Mollie), Daughter Heather O'Hala (Rick), his father Carl O'Hala, Sr., Brothers, Charles O'Hala (Dawn) and Carl O'Hala, Jr. (Melissa) and two Grandchildren whom he adored, Connor Gibson and Mackenzie Gibson, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and close friends.
