Michael Duggan

While on our trip south, we had a very good friend of ours who passed. Michael was this sweet, caring, devoted, talented, loving, quiet person we had come to love. He was the husband of one of my oldest friends, Rita from San Antonio. Michael along with Rita were very gifted and did a lot of theatre in San Antonio along with church choral groups, teaching yoga, volunteering at local animal shelters and taking care of their very large family. Michael was from the area and he and Rita would come a lot to New York to take care of his mother who lived in Nyack but we would go see theatre and have dinner together whenever they were in town. He and Rita stayed at Tim's Mom's house occasionally and he was always so helpful around the house when he would visit. We did yoga on Zoom together weekly and we had become family so quickly during Covid. We went to Michae's mother's service in November 2020 and it was the last time we saw him. Shortly after the first of the year, he had a stroke and was diagnosed with brain cancer. It was so fast, we were all in shock and were so saddened by the circumstances. We will miss him very much. They came to visit us last summer and so glad they did.
