To Norah, Ted and the Ward family, our heartfelt sympathies to you all on the passing of your much loved Michael. He was always warm and welcoming during family holidays to New Zealand. Brian and I fondly remember his visit to our home in Donegal with Thomas and Jo. We know you will miss terribly him but remember the many happy memories you have of Michael - this will give you strength.

Deepest sympathy to Michael's family. I met him in Timaru late 60s ,played together for Celtic,great times and been friends since. Unfortunately he was dealt some bad cards in later life but he was always smiling in his quiet demeanor. Rest in peace Mikke you will be remembered
