The obituary notice of Michael Joseph FERRIS

Uncle Michael was & is a founding stone of our family, it’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since he passed away, it only seems like a few days.
You were my last family member that connected me with my Mum, I pray that you are at peace now & that Gods eternal light will shine on you, you are sadly missed.. but you will always be remembered

It’s 51 years since I first met Michael, what a lovey man. I have very fond memories of him. We had some great times, he always had a story to tell, and he told them well, he was a real character and great company.
Sending sincere condolences to Delia and the boys, he will be greatly missed. With love, Marlene

My dad's funeral will be at Wilford Hill Crematorium at 12.30pm on Tuesday 29th October 2024.

Anyone that knew my dad is invited to come and wish him farewell alongside his family and friends. Cheers, Gareth

I only had one uncle,
Uncle Michael.
He was in and out my life a lot in my early years, my flip flop wearing, banjo playing uncle.
In my twenties and early thirties I called on Michael plenty.
He was an expert giver of 'putting my cap on straight' advice and there were many times that I needed it.
Michael was like a mentor to me as a young parent, he did it as a pal, he knew I needed it. He helped me into work and completely changed the direction of my life when he got me selling.
I learned so much from his generosity and will be forever in his debt.
He once said to me that men shouldn't really be allowed to make any serious decisions until they're in their fifties.
I'm in my fifties now and although I'm still not really sure if I'm ready, I think I understand what he meant.
I only had one uncle, an ace one.
Michael.
A one off,
I think I got pretty lucky
