Very shocked and very sorry to hear about Michael. I knew him well from our Benedictine days. My greatest condolences to his family. I remember Michael being very demonstrative about getting a higher education beyond BC, even pushing me to aspire to the better colleges. I remember him well and still, after all these years, will miss him. Joe Griffin

Mr.& Mrs. McCarthy, We did not know until today that Michael had past away. He is no longer suffering but because we are some how selfish he will be greatly missed and loved by both of us. He was very special to us and will always will be. May his memory be eternal. Sincerely, Sharon & Jerry Simmons

- Jerry & Sharon Simmons, Bluffton, SC

To all of Michael's family I send my heartfelt sorrow. I feel the world has lost an angel, but know that heaven has gained one. Michael's trademark quick smile and sense of humor will always live on in my heart, as I'm sure it does in all of those who were a part of his life. May we all find comfort in our memories, prayers and knowledge that he's in heaven smiling down on us. May God's grace that brought Michael to us, also provide love, peace, acceptance and loving care to Michael's family and friends. Until we meet again my dearest friend.
