I will forever remember Father Mick-my husband and I took classes on "Jesus" at his home and my daughter joined us as well - he was responsible for bringing my husband back to Christ - he also married us - his sense of humor and love for Christ is what I will remember the most - I'm grateful

I met him when he came to our church our Lady of Lourdes as a associated pastor in June, 2003. He had the most wonderful voice for mass I heard. I know in Heaven he will continue to sing
the praises of God forever. He was a very good priest.

from a card I found:
As some people journey thru life, they leave footprints wherever they go---footprints of kindness and love, courage and compassion, humor and inspiration, joy and faith. Even when they are gone, we can still look back and clearly see the trail they left behind-- a trail bright with hope that invites us to follow.
RIP Father Mick. You touched our lives. You will truly be missed.

Ron and I are saddened by the loss of Father Mick. We were blessed to have known him, albeit for way too short a time. He sanctified our marriage in the Church last year. Truly a memory we will always cherish.

Rest In Peace, Father Mick! What a shock to hear of his passing. My husband and I were members of Our Lady of Lourdes and participated in daily Mass as well as weekend liturgies. We watched him grow from a newly ordained to a confident pastor! He had a beautiful smile and caring attitude about all!

To Fr Mick's family and friends, we join you in recalling the many special occasions that he was a part of and how special he was. He was presided at a wedding, confirmations, baptisms in our family at OLOL. Our thoughts are with his church families at St James and St Teresa's

I have visited St James on several occasions when it wasn't possible to make Mass at my home parish. Fr. Mick always made me feel like one of the congregation, though. His easy-going nature and infectious laugh just brought joy to the church. If he made a mistake, he laughed it off; an amazing tribute to his character. Truly and deeply saddened by his death. Strength and peace to all who struggle with his loss.

Very, very recently, Fr. Mick and our St. Theresa parish musicians followed the news of the passing of a longtime parishioner earlier that morning with an amazing, beautiful, and very moving Sunday mass. Fr. Mick’s sermon that day made the connection of our life here on earth and our life after our death. Fr Mick, we will carry your powerful messages with us always. You will be deeply, deeply missed. And we will also dearly miss talking Brewer baseball with you.

Father Mick married us and was such a light that we started to regularly attend church again because of him. He was truly one of the most gentle and kind people I have ever met. We will miss him a great deal, especially the incredible joy he showed for every single person's birthday.

Fr. Mick,
You will be deeply missed. Your masses made it a wonderful experience to be there. Your deep caring for everyone, even my mom, whom you didn't know, you came to see her and blessed her. We lost you way too soon but we know God has a bigger job for you now. Prayers for your family.
