I want to thank everyone for your wonderful messages. My dad is and always will be a wonderful man. The funeral was beautiful - absolutely perfect. Just what he deserved. Mom, Samantha and I are all doing about as well as can be expected. Steve is taking good care of all us girls. Dad is now singing "Danny Boy", having a green beer and dancing. We have laughed becasue we know he had friends waiting for him, ready to have a blast when they got to see him last week! A man who gives so many laughs must be shared with those on the other side. It's only fair. Dad, we love you, miss you greatly and will see you again!

I am sorry to hear about Mike. I am glad I got to know him & help him whenever he called the office. I will never forget getting everything ready for your trip to Hawaii. I miss him calling and hearing "Hey, good looking." You are in my thoughts & prayers.

I met Michael 10 years ago. We became friends immediately, with the kind of comfort level that usually comes with many years. I could tell him anything, and we shared many good times and stories between us. Sometimes, we'd just be quiet together, and that was ok, too. I am glad his suffering is over, but cannot yet grasp never hearing his voice again. He and Kathy adored each other, as I was priveledged to witness on a few occassions. His daughter, Mary Lou, was his heart, and Sammy was the sparkle in his eye, proud Paw Paw that he was. He was one of the finest humans I've ever had the honor of knowing, and, I loved him very,very much. I know you are breathing easy, now, Michael, kick up your heels, throw one back, and dance an Irish jig for us all!
