As Mike’s pastor for a decade at St. Joseph’s & 13 years at St. Polycarp, I tried my best to inspire him. But he always encouraged, uplifted, and inspired me. I am a better man & a better priest because of him.

A friend first and a co worker second. A man who gave of himself putting others first. I loved hearing of his motorcycle trips north in the fall and having frequent conversations at work. This is difficult to understand but all is in God’s hands now.
May your soul Rest In Peace Mike. Please keep Debbie and the family in your loving hands.

I am so sorry for your loss. A family member, and friend from long ago, I will always remember the time spent together in Ringwood and at grandmas; climbing the apple tree, playing in the park, and feeding the ducks. My heart aches for his family and I will keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
