Very sorry to read of Mikes passing, I worked with Mike in the Fire Service. My condolences to the family and I hope to be able to attend Mikes service.
Firstly my deepest condolences to all Mike's family members whom I had met. Mike was my kind of man..funny,organised and had a huge heart. Mike. .thanks for making me feel like I belonged while I was around..you were so easy to get to know and I really appreciated the times when we came through to stay. I've a feeling the 'memory lane' bar will be at capacity 😅 gone too soon but you'll live on in all the hearts of you're family.. and mine. Rest easy,Mike 🫡
