Your buddies in Port Austin miss you.
John Renner

3 years passed. Port Austin loonies will always remember ya!

Yes John Renner, wonderful memories in the thumb.  Mike loved it there and cherished your friendship.  Great times, great friends,  great memories!  

Mike used to go with me up to the thumb of Michigan - Port Austin.  We had such as ball listening to Mike!  What a character he was!  

You are truly missed.  Your three children, your mom and myself talk about you often.  Rest easy, we will see you again.  

Time to rest peacefully now my friend...until we meet again.

This candle is for you Michael hill. Rest in peace until we meet again.   Jaime

@ the ND Grotto 11/16/19

My heart breaks for all who love Mike and are feeling this loss so greatly, especially his three children, his mom, and Janice. I pray that you feel God's comfort and consolation in the days and months ahead. 
I remember during the Christmas holidays how he and Janice would bring silly hats to Mom and Dad's and have everyone putting them on, taking pictures, and laughing. Those are special memories.
Eternal rest grant unto Mike, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. 

Michael no words can explain how sorry “The Wrights” were to hear that we will no longer see with our eyes, but we will always feel you in our hearts and memories. From the moment you and Mary drove past our house and you seen our Notre Dame bird house you had no doubt that that would be a lasting friendship that brought us an extended family. Justin, Adam, Jenna, Baba and Pamela know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Be at peace and rest easy our Friend and may your light always shine upon your children and family and upon Notre Dame football as Jaime went to the Grotto and lit a candle in your name.  Until we meet again special memories of you will always bring a smile.  Love Allen, Tina, Jaime and Shane

Had the pleasure of meeting Mike a number of years ago in Chicago. I was struck my his easy going personality and the way he was able to share a story. Learned about what it took to operate a heavy duty crane on high rise building construction....truly not for the "faint of heart". Knew within five minutes that it was something I could never do and had total respect for Mike's skills. 

Rest in peace Michael 

Mike, it seems only appropriate to share an Irish verse with my ever so Irish brother-in-law:
May the good earth be soft under you when you rest upon it,
May it rest easy over you when, at the last, you lay under it,
And may it rest so lightly over you that your soul may be out from under it quickly, and up, and off, and be on its way to God.
You fought the good fight. I know your soul is now at peace and on its way.
With love,
Jon, Barb, Brenna and Kailyn 

My heart goes out to my dear friend Janice and Mike’s Mom and sons.  I’ve known Janice and Mike for many years.  They cherished each other and shared much love, fun and laughter.  Janice, hoping you find comfort in the wonderful memories you’ve shared.  I’m deeply sorry for this great loss.  Mike will be dearly missed.  

Oh Michael.  I’m sorry you had to leave us but you are now free and at peace.   Thank you for giving me three wonderful children.  I will always be so grateful.  They love you unconditionally and they will Miss you every day.  I will keep an eye on our kids, your mom, sister, brother and of course Julie.  We are and always will be family.  I will miss our phone conversations.  Till we meet again.   Rest easy Michael.  



I remember meeting Mike at Aunt Carole’s services not that long ago. He was a kind person and I am sure will be missed by his family 

My deepest condolences to the family.  I knew Michael way back in the early 80s.  He was a wonderful man.  R.I.P. Michael

This wonderful, so much fun and full of life guy will be missed a ton.  He used to head up to the thumb of Michigan with me to get away.  All my friends up there became his friend and he: theirs.... To the point I was second hand (haha).  My prayers are with his family.  Gosh.... We had so much fun with him.......

So sorry to hear this sad news. I met Mike through his wife Janice and spent time with them in Michigan and Ontario. We had alot of laughs together.  I remember when Janice and I were away for work  he would always call to chat with Janice and see what we were up to.  Sending my condolences to his family.


My most sincere condolences to Mike's mom and his 3 children and wishing them peace and comfort during this difficult time. To my sister Janice, I know you loved Mike and are struggling with this loss but love really does live forever. I pray you find hope in the midst of your grief and may God bless you all. 

Janice I am sorry for your loss. I remember meeting Mike at your parents house. When he talked about you his eyes were full of love and you looked at him with all the love in your heart. You two talked about Ireland and your wedding rings. Two Irish souls. 🍀

Ahhhh Mike. I can’t hardly believe you have left us.   I will always remember your loving spirit , kind heartedness and genuine laughter. You always had a smile for everyone. And I will always remember how you’d say I was your favorite sister in law.!  You meant so much to me ......  We could relate on so many levels and I know you fought the good fight. Heaven won the battle and I know you are at peace now and we will see you again. Healthy and whole with that big smile of yours. Love you Mike. Always will xoxoxo. Love Carole
