Goodbye Michael

Last week my uncle Michael passed away after a battle with cancer, and we attended his funeral on Tuesday. If I was asked to describe him in a single phrase, I would choose “big hearted”. Michael was a kind, well-read and thoughtful man who passionately loved life and made friends wherever he went (evidenced by the packed funeral service and wake). His passing will leave a hole in our lives, but more so those of his wife, three children, mother and six siblings. Bye big fella - I’ll think of you whenever I open a bottle of shiraz.
