Deepest condolences to the entire Curran family from the MacKay family. It was a pleasure getting to know Mike at many hockey and soccer games and practices. He always had a big smile and a word of support for the kids and the coach! I will miss that and I know he will be missed greatly by his family and friends and especially the grandchildren he loved to support. Have strength in this tough time and know that he will still be watching and supporting from the sidelines.

We were all very saddened by the news of Mikes passing. He will always be remembered as a great guy with a story and a smile on his face, and for all the fun hockey parties he hosted when the boys were young. We had a great visit with him last summer when he stopped by for an unexpected visit. A visit we’ll cherish. Thoughts and prayers to you all! Sincerely, The Luchko’s
