Memories of Michael by Jan Paemaa
Hal my late husband and Michael's dad Ken were friends since primary school in Paddington.
In Loving Memory of
20th April 1968 - 11th May 2026
Dearly departed Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Friend and Colleague.
This site has been created as a space for us all to share our grief and sadness at Michael's unfortunate passing.
We also hope that this is somewhere where we can share memories, pay tribute and feel connected to the full and vibrant life that he did indeed live!
Please spare a thought for those closest and most dear to Michael; His beloved wife Tar, son Oscar and daughters Katie and Maddy.
Michael is survived by his father Ken (and Ken's wife Gay), and is predeceased by his mother Camille. He leaves behind his brothers Brendan and Gavin, their partners Sarah and Scott, his nibling Felix (Sparky), and nephew Hamish.
Please feel free to submit a memory or a tribute to appear on the website.

Hal my late husband and Michael's dad Ken were friends since primary school in Paddington.
My memories of Michael are primarily as Connolly clan youngsters, mucking around at Patrick Street Hurstville and the Sainsbury home in Blacktown.
I first met MES on the 20th April 1968 and sadly said goodbye to him on the 11th May 2026.
A quick memory that was Michael to a tee.
