I a so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great guy, and it was my pleasure and honor to know and work with Mike. Everyone has an O’Malley story that entertains and brings fond memories.

I was saddened to hear about the passing of a longtime friend. So many memories have come to mind from my times with Michael, his love of his beautiful daughters, his many different dogs, NAU food service, the perfect drink, dancing in college and at his daughter’s wedding and the joy that he alway exhibited. I have been blessed to have known him.
