Michael was born in Co Sligo, one of six brothers and one sister, on the 7th December 1932. After coming to London in the late fifties he met the love of his life, Mary. They were married in 1960 at Our Lady of the Rosary, Sutton. During their lifetime together they were blessed with three sons, Michael, John and Brendan, and four grandsons, Liam, Jack, Harry and Joseph. He was surrounded by love and affection which was returned tenfold to all who knew him. Michael lived life to the full and he will be missed more than words can say. The family wish to thank you all for your kind messages of sympathy and support after the loss of a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.
