We offer our deepest sympathy to you Mary Jo, Aoife. Sinead, Danny and Gary. Michael was a true friend. We soldiered together attending UCG an duly graduated with our prized BA Degrees.
Over the years we bonded like brothers and I had the privilege of being Michael’s best man.
They were the Golden Days in times gone by. The night before his wedding Michael stayed in Amana and was duly picked and powdered before we set out to the church to marry the love ❤️ of his life, Mary Jo.
May the Good Lord speed your way on that final Journey which is before us all. Farewell my friend and tree feller supreme 😢.
