To The Entire McGrath Family,
My deepest sympathy to the entire McGrath family. I can remember the family back in the 60's and it was my priviledge to have Mickey as a friend and classmate at both CCHS and Manhattan. He provided great medical care to my brother Neil and my mom.
Mickey was a great human being, loving husband, great dad and a true friend to so many. In living his life, he taught us all a lesson in life. Mickey will be missed bot never forgotten by the Ryan family.
Terry Ryan Class of 68CCHS/72Jasper.
God bless the entire McGrath family.

To The McGrath Family,
I am long removed from my native Troy but I was recently informed of Dr McGrath's death by one of my local siblings. Shortly after he started his practice Dr McGrath became my father's physician and the relationship was one of great trust and appreciation. As his heart continued to fail, I asked my parents--as an abundance of caution--for permission to involve my brother-in-law ,Dr Donald Magilligan, then an internationally renowned heart surgeon and the head of cardiac surgery at University of California Medical Center, San Francisco. Following the transfer of XRays and medical files, and with Dr McGrath's complete concurrence, the two doctors had an extended phone conversation. The late Dr Magilligan then told the Hartigan family that rarely had he met a more capable and sensitive physician and that he agreed completely with every aspect of our father's care as administered by Dr McGrath. So you will understand why I relate to the overwhelming and heartfelt tributes to this extraordinary man as so tenderly expressed in these pages . He deserves his peace. My prayers are with his wife, children and family. Maurice H. Hartigan, II, Pound Ridge, NY

I always enjoyed spending time with you and Mickey during the boys' baseball games. Your mutual love and support was certainly borne out by your faithful care for Mickey during his long illness. What a wonderful role model for your children. I'm sure they appreciate all that you did for him and them. Be assured of my prayers and thoughts during this sad time. Take comfort in the fact that a loving relationship like yours will certainly not end in death.

August 24, 2010
I am so sorry for your loss. Mickey touched me in such an unexpected way. I had not seen him since the late 90's when I covered HOSPICE INPATIENT at St Marys. We would chat in the hallway in passing and he would always say "Grace, I do not know how you do this?" I would explain the fulfillment and he would then say, well somebody has to do it, keep up the good work.
After he retired every time I would walk my dog I would pass your house and I would be brought to tears thinking of Mickey and all he was going through. Then I would be reminded of our conversations back on the units and my heart would be touched by this mans courage and sacrifice for his life with his family. I could not believe the impact that HIS life choices had on me.
He gave me new perspectives and melted my heart, God Bless you all at this time of great loss and know that you are in my prayers.

August 24, 2010
Please accept our condolences on your loss. My husband Dan and I knew Mickey while we were in high school. We came to know him again in adulthood as family doctor to my mom and dad. What a beautiful spirit! We were all blessed to know him and he is missed.

To the McGrath Family,
Although I only know some of you in passing, I cannot begin to imagine the loss you are all feeling at this time. Mickey was my doctor since I was in my early thirties and he helped me through some very traumatic and difficult times, until he could not help anymore. I will always remember the last time I saw him in the office, I was a mess, and although he was obviously suffering himself, he went out of his way to make sure that I got the care that I needed. It is now 25 or so years later and I, to this day, thank God that I knew him. May your memories of Mickey help you all through this difficult time.

To Aileen and Family,
Since first meeting Mickey at CCHS, I recognized what a wonderfully smart, talented, and self-effacing guy he was. Over the years I knew it was a true love story as you and Mickey had a wonderful love and family together. Now I've had the privilege of seeing Melissa and her family grow as well.
You had a wonderful love and life, and you have my total admiration for the manner you both handled the horrid illness that befell him. Your love will live on forever, I'm sure.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
August 24, 2010
Aileen, I went to high school with you and Mickey and have memories of both of your kind, generous and caring ways even as teen agers. It was so evident even at that young age that you would end up together. They say that God has a plan for everyone. What and how well we do with that plan is left up to us. I think that part of the McGrath legacy will be the lessons of faith, strength, dignity, devotion and love that were woven into your plan and left for all of us to benefit from. Thank you and God bless.

My family and I have known Mickey for roughly four decades. We eagerly awaited his completion of his medical training so that we could all see him as our doctor. And an excellent doctor he was, as well as one of the finest human beings we have been privileged to know.
He was the doctor who recognized my father’s cancer symptoms at an early stage, making it possible for him to receive the treatment that saved his life.
He was always there for all of us, reliable, conscientious, compassionate, and clinically competent in the highest degree. I had some problems that doctors I previously saw were unable to help me with. But Mickey succeeded where others had not. He always knew what to do. I had complete confidence in him, for he had what it took to inspire that confidence.
Whenever I saw Mickey, I saw not only an excellent doctor, but a caring friend.
There are no words adequate to the tragedy that befell him. But he lived life in the best way, combining great personal achievement with outstanding beneficence to others. He lives on in heaven and in the hearts of all those he touched. Few of us can equal him, but we can all improve ourselves by trying to emulate him.
R.I.P. Mickey

Aileen,
I can only imagine the emptiness you and your family are enduring at this time. Having recently witnessed your overweening strengths; love, hope, loyalty and compassion (to name a few) I am confident Mickey’s passing brings a measure of peace and comfort.
Knowing you and your brother long before Mickey came into the picture it was always obvious to me that nothing but the best would do. You and Mickey surely marched to the same drummer. You two are ‘sole mates’ in every sense.
After moving to Florida I never got to know Mickey well but I vividly remember your brother saying one day that, “Mickey is a no holes bared kind-a guy. Don’t ask the question if ya can’t handle the truth”. Coming from Paul those few words spoke volumes to me of your Husbands character and attitude toward life. Also, after reading all the entries in this Guest Book your Brother was right on the mark.
My wife and I send our deepest heart felt condolences to you and family.
We wish you all the best during this time of bereavement.

I have known the McGrath family most of my life. Twelve years ago Dr McGrath discovered that I had cancer. He guided me through every step of my treatment coordinating my care. I'm alive today because of his skill and dedication as a physician. More than that he was a great guy, and will be missed.
August 24, 2010
To Dr. McGrath's immediate family, and to Judge McGrath, Ed, and Kevin,
During my years of working for the judge, I met Dr. McGrath a number of times and always found him to be gracious and a man with a wonderful and witty sense of humor. I know how close all of you were to him, and how hard you worked these past few years trying to comfort him during his illness. My condolences.
Wishing all of you the best during this period of bereavement.

To Aileen & Family,
I went to CCHS with you and Mickey but hadn't seen him until I was privileged to participate in an ALS fundraising "walk" a few years ago. Mickey was there and his brother re-introduced me. Mickey's eyes lite up and he clutched my hand...he remembered and it meant something to him that I was there. To this day I cherish that moment and will remember his courage and dignity always.

Our hearts are truly saddened and please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all now, and may the lord keep you safe. In loving memory of Teresa L. Nelson,

To the family of Dr. Michael McGrath,
Although Dr. McGrath's brother, Pat, and I have known each other for years as members of the Rensselaer County Bar Association, it was never my privilege to have met your loved one during his lifetime. From the obituary notice, it is apparent that he was an extraordinary man who touched the lives of many in a positive way. Although not expressly stated in the notice, I surmise that Dr. McGrath succumbed to ALS. Both the father and the brother of my wife,
Roberta, suffered the devastating effects of Huntington's Disease during their dramatically shortened lives. If Dr. McGrath's death becomes a beacon for increased research into the cause and cure of his debilitating disease, then his passing will not have been in vain.
It is hoped that memories of happy shared times together will provide a measure of solace during this difficult period.

To Dr.McGrath's Wife and Family,
My sincerest condolences to all of you. I called on "Mickey" for #20+ years as a Sales Rep with one of the pharmaceutical companies and he truly was "one of a kind". A most sincere and intelligent and most importantly compassionate person. We would always talk about our families and sports and then medicine.
I am so sorry for your loss, rest assured that he is in a special place with Our Lord. He is a special friend and colleague and I am so pleased to have known him from his days at Albany Medical College and throughout his time in Troy.
God Speed to you and be with you and your Families.

To Aileen and the entire McGrath family. Mickey holds a special place in the hearts of all who knew him. I remember the days his dad bragged about him pursuing a medical career to everyone who would stop and talk to Mugger in the CCHS book store. My own father was one of his biggest fans, he always would talk about the CYO teams from St. Augustine's we have a great picture of the Championship team from 1965 my dad (Herb Bradley) and Mugger were the coaches. What great memories we all can share about growing up and what a positive influence Mickey had on those who knew him.Thinking of you and your family at this time and Know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Mickey was my physician and my friend. We played sports together on the same team and as opponents. He was a terrific teammate and a formidable opponent. I believe he saved my life in April 1994 when he swiftly reacted to a medical condition I had.
I will never forget his kindness, professionalism and humor.
May he rest in peace.

One whose work ethic is so suprerior, character so strong, and star so bright that we not only remember them long after our paths cross but also tell our own children about - Mickey is that person. Our deepest sympathy to Aileen, Mickey's family, and all those fortunate to have had Mickey as a constant in their lives.

To Aileen and all of Mickey's Family - My heartfelt sympathy to you all. He was a kind and gentle man and I am honored to be able to call him my friend. He did not give up without a fight and he will be missed by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

For Dr McGraths' family, I worked with him at St Marys hospital for 5 yrs. He was a very kind and compassionate man. Never raised his voiced to staff, always showed concern for those in his care. The next few months and yrs will not be easy without him but recall your treasured memories fondly and with love. His spirit will always be around you to give you comfort. May you rest assured, he is now in a special place with the Lord.

To Eileen and Family,
I worked Mickey's office years ago and was saddened to hear of Mickey's passing. Please accept my deepest sympathy. He is at peace now.
