Dan and the Spicer family,
Our sincere condolences for the loss of Michael. Many good times were shared while at NIMO and thereafter. He will be deeply missed. A true story...a man walked into a pub with a Vizsla dog and Mike wanted to name him Spice after his rust coating. We ended up taking this dog and loving him for 12 glorious years. Thank you Mike. Forever grateful. RIP

We can only smile when we think of Mike. We had many fun times. I still remember how thrilled he was after I crocheted him an Irish hat. He loved it and brought it up to me whenever I saw him, even decades later. We're sure the angels are having a bit more fun with Mike amongst them. We are very sorry for the loss of Mike.

Growing up on the Hill, Mike was just a bit older than me and my friends, including Mike's cousin, Sean Lawlor, but he was always good to me, all of us. He had a great, wry wit and a welcoming smile. A true son of Ireland. God Bless Mike Spicer.
