1968 - 2013

Dear Friends of Mike,

This past Saturday, Mike lost his battle with leukemia.  He is now looking down upon us, in the arms of his beloved mother, with his father smiling besides them.  

The O'Shea Family would like to thank everyone, for the overwhelming outpouring of love bestowed upon Mike, and all of us, over the past 10 months. No family could have ever expected the incredible community outreach that resulted. Frankly, we were all blown away. No words will ever be able to express our gratitude.

We will be holding the wake on Monday and Tuesday, January 21st and 22nd, both days from 2-4 and 7-9pm at:

Vander Platt Funeral Home
257 Godwin Avenue
Wyckoff NJ 07481
201-891-3400

The funeral mass will be held at 10.00 am on Wednesday, January 23rd at:

St. Elizabeth’s Roman Catholic Church
700 Wyckoff Avenue

In lieu of flowers, any donations may be sent to:

The Pietro Maugeri Foundation
c/o The Wyckoff YMCA
691 Wyckoff Ave
Wyckoff NJ 07481

 Thank you, and We Love You, will have to suffice for now. 

God Bless You 
God Bless Mike

  1. Often, a family who loses a loved one spends the days and weeks after the funeral thanking everyone who has done something for them in the very difficult times that follow the passing. In this case, it is those of us who were privileged enough to attend Mike's celebration who should be thankful. While sadness permeated a good portion of the day, Mike's undaunted spirit was carried through in his family and dominated the depth of our hearts. It was truly inspiring.

    Thank you, O'Sheas and Smiths. We are here for you now and in the years to come, and Mike will certainly live on in all of our hearts forever.
