Mike was the most generous man with his time we’ve ever known, the most capable and hardworking organizer of community fund raisers, always there and always engaged. When he asked for your help, you couldn’t say no. And he was always ready with a joke or straight-faced tease. St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church in Fitzroy in particular gained so much from his help and participation (and that of his family). When Michael was the caretaker at St. Michael’s school across the street, our kids, who attended, thought that he was the owner of the school, that is was named for him. What the kids didn’t know is that after the buses had left for the day, some rather surprising messages appeared on the school bulletin boards, courtesy of Mike. Carefully removed by next day of course.

Elaine and family, I was saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I have such fond memories of him coming into my classroom at the end of a school day with a big HELlO and a story that would undoubtedly bring a smile to my face. How he loved to talk about Lindsay and Carter. He was so very proud of them both.

I hold fond memories of Mike (Mr. McHale) from my years at St. Michael's from kindergarten to grade 8. He was always helpful, friendly, and caring to everyone around him. As a young child he made a big impression. No matter the day, he always seemed to bring warmth and kindness into the school. He was truly a special man with a big heart. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies during this difficult time.
