Carolyn,my Deepest Smyphathy to you and your Family Brian Crowley

Sending love to all the family at this difficult time ❤️ Michael was an amazing man and I have such fond memories of him while I was growing up. Praying God's peace over all the family, wish we could be there with you all.

I remember as a child on days i stayed home from school sick, Pops would look after me and make the most amazing Peanut butter and jam sandwiches I've ever had. He was always happy to have us come visit him and usually had chocolate and/or a a fruit drink ready to share. He lived with us for a while when we were kids and his snoring could wake the neighbours it was that loud. He had a cheeky sense of humour. Hes going to be missed greatly but he will live on in our memories forever. Love you Pops.

Im going to miss you heaps Pops. I've always known you as the Wise Hermit I'd go to for wisdom, guidance and advice and you've always helped me whenever i was in need. you taught me valuable life lessons and that a sense of humour and a smile can help you overcome anything. I love you heaps Pops, you'll always live on in our hearts and memories. 💕
