Good Luck Mike O'Mara


What can I say?

A long time co-worker, friend, confidant, and all-around good guy moves on to the next phase of his career, his life. I could not be happier for him!

I am speechless.


Mike O'Mara worked in the trenches with us day in, day out, bringing out the best in us and a smile to our faces.

He always gave his all and came back with a heart-wrenching, captivating story.

His honesty and personality endeared him to his interview subjects, who opened up to Mike time and time again.

He'd pound the pavement on hard news stories such as the Dr. Moonda turnpike shooting or the tragic multiple murder over on West 89th Street in Cleveland.

He set out on many 'missing people' cases who wound up being found with Mike on the case.

Not only did he bring out the emotion in his interview subjects, but had a soft spot for the animals in Northeast Ohio.

He will be missed most of all by his little furry friend at the Geauga County Sheriff Department, Midge!

Mike and Midge have a special bond between them never to be broken!

Michael O--you will always hold a special spot in my heart! Only a phone call away, a click on Facebook, as you 'sail' off into the sunset!!!!


Congratulations on your 2010 Emmy nominee and 2010 Press Club Award! I'm sure you will continue racking up the accolades wherever your ship may steer you!
