[All] Mike Connolly

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks

It is with sadness in my heart that I deliver this information about a dear friend of mine named Mike Connolly, husband of Mary Connolly. 

The KW record published that Mike has suffered a brain hemorrhage, and he is not expected to live. The family are currently preparing for his passing and they are preparing to donate his organs.  Here is the article as published in today's Record in the Local section as written by Jeff Outhit.

Even now we see Mike giving back everything he can to help support people and community via the organ donation. This is in my view, the continuance of the selfless way he lived. He spent decades giving back to this community as politician, advocate for the environment and fiscal responsibility. Mike spent countless of hours in council sharing the logic that we must respect and revere the protocols and procedures of council, we must have regard to the fact that taxes are a fiscal sacrifice for the public and that we must be responsible with how these funds are managed. He worked to protect the poor, the water moraine, and our democracy. He was a wonderful and energetic father and loving husband to Mary. He was a wonderfully positive man with a great sense of moral and ethical justice and a smile that could light a room.  I pray his legacy will continue to influence positive changes in our community. God bless Mike and his family.
