Michael
I am very sad today to hear the news.
I am far away but remember you like yesterday. You had amazing vitality.
I wish God's comfort to Michelle and Kids, and Mum and brothers and sisters, at your passing; it is an unbelievable loss for your family and hard to take.
You will be greatly missed.
Goodbye to a friend; one of my first friends at Uni; always remember you for introducing me to Pink Floyd, Bach, Beethoven, the Band and basketball.
You had a huge spirit which will live on.
I will miss you.
Godspeed Michael.
Love and light.
Gerry

To Michelle, Neasa , conor, Nollag and Barry I want to say how sorry I am that Michael has passed on. I remember many great times we had in Batty's. Michael was an inspiration as a musician . He knew all the complicated ins and outs and I envied him his skill and style. When I play 'Blue Skies' I think of him playing it and Michelle singing it. I learned it because I wanted to be as good a player as Mick and even though I'm in Australia, when I sing that song I'm back in Batty's with Mick and Michael Treacy and Michelle and times are good. He used to nail J.J.Cale's song 'Call Me The Breeze' and the roof would lift off the place.When he would pull up outside Batty's and the Honda Civic full to the gills with keyboards and amps you knew it was on! 'I've got that green light, baby, I've got to keep moving on'. Mike was a great musician and he had a lovely kind heart may he rest in peace.

Sad to hear the news of Michael's death.

Michael was gifted as a keyboard player - very sorry to hear of his death. May he rest in peace.
