Michael Philip McGonegal, of Burlington, VT, born January 24, 1969, died
on October 1, 2016. Survived by his parents, Thomas and Patricia McGonegal
of Acton, MA, and three brothers and sisters-in-law— Thomas and Alexa
McGonegal, Kevin and Danielle McGonegal, and Joseph McGonegal and Emily
Walsh—along with five loving nieces and nephews and many dear friends.
Those who loved Mike knew him for his sense of humor, his large circle of
good friends in the Burlington late-night crowd, his love of live music,
and his enjoyment of vacations in Ocean Point, Maine.
Mike attended
elementary and middle school in Underhill, Rice Memorial High School in
South Burlington, and the University of Vermont. A great writer, great
wit, and stickler for grammar, Mike entertained and instructed, and he
took great pride in his New Yorker cartoon fame, his pranks on family and
friends, and in being caricatured on the Church St. mural in Burlington.
A funeral will take place at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish in Acton, MA.
