Michael's wife Anne, sons Barry and Graham, daughter Gemma and all his family wish to extend our most sincere thanks for the many expressions of sympathy and support we have received throughout our recent sad loss.

Thank you to those who attended his wake, funeral and burial services, especially those who travelled long distances. Thank you to those who sent cards, made phone calls, shared great memories with us and those who donated generously to the RNLI in his memory.

We would like to thank the efforts of the first responders who attended to him in his time of need. Thank you to Father Donal Roche for a beautiful service and to organist Brid Pedreschi and vocalist Adeline O'Brien.

A special thank you to all at Flannery's funeral home for all their amazing work, help and efforts during our difficult time.

As it would not be possible to thank everyone individually, we trust that this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere appreciation.

Michael's month's mind Mass will take place on Saturday 5th March at 18:00 Mass in St. Patrick Church, Wicklow Town"
