I first met Mike years ago in Ireland but, while living in Canada, saw him more often in trips South to the NJ & VA Lynch homes. While Bill passed away in that time, happier memories include Lauren & Mike competing in motor races on Pat’s games console, visiting Esther’s aerodrome with him, Thanksgiving together etc. When we last saw Mike for Seamus’ birthday in VA in 2009, days before moving back to Europe, he looked forward to hitting the road again on his Harley when well; sadly, that wasn’t to be but I bet he’s now on another Harley, cruisin’ along that great highway in the sky. So, during Mike’s funeral, here in Dublin I will play the biker’s anthem “Born To Be Wild”, to his memory. Mike, it was a privilege to know you, Rest In Peace alongside your parents, Trudy and Bill – but no goodbyes because you remain close in our thoughts and memories. To Tim, Pat, Seamus, Anne and Audrey, and all grieving for Mike; we’re also thinking of you at this difficult time.
