(77) (“Mike”) On Monday, May 17, 2021, Michael Holliday of Lutherville, Maryland, loving husband of Maureen Holliday and cherished father of Michael Patrick Holliday, Carolyn Mary Holliday, John Michael Holliday, and Patrick Michael Holliday, passed away. He will be missed deeply. Michael was born in Youngstown, OH on December 03, 1943, to Hedwig Ada Holliday (nee Turowski) and Michael Holliday (Mikey). After graduating Ursline Highschool, he entered Marquette University, where he completed both his Bachelor of Science, and Medical Doctorate degrees. In 1970 he enlisted in the US Army and served as a flight surgeon and Captain in the Vietnam war. Michael completed his residency in Otolaryngology at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD in 1974 and continued to work there for over 40 years as surgical faculty. His work in neurotology was groundbreaking and garnered him a global reputation as one of the foremost experts in acoustic neuromas. Michael met his future wife, Maureen, in 1973 at City Hospital in Baltimore where she was visiting from Dublin, Ireland while completing a portion of her own medial internship. They celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary in August 2020. Michael was a devout Catholic all of his life; from his alter boy duties as a young boy to serving as an usher at the Cathedral of Mary our Queen for over 20 years. An avid outdoorsman, he loved spending time outdoors, fishing, hunting, and boating on the Chesapeake with his family. Despite his many accomplishments, he will be remembered best by those who were blessed enough to have known him, for his persistent smile, infectious laugh and constant wit. Michael is survived by his wife and four children and his sisters, Franceska Sokol and Marian Chomicz, his brothers-in-law, William Sokol, Thomas Chomicz, and Leo Veling, his sisters-in-law, Patricia Veling and Mary Veling, his son-in-law, Jerry Moyer, his daughter-in-law, Lindsay Holliday, and five grandchildren, Ella I.
