I am saddened to see that Mike has moved on. I knew him in the years prior to his retirement at AGT. Always a decent and easy person to get along with. Our condolences to his family and especially to the grandchildren who likely still don’t understand.
Kim and family please accept my apology for not being able to attend Mike’s memorial service but know I’m there for you in this sad time.
My memories of Mike will always be fond. I will cherish the times we spent together, the laughter we shared and the tenderness in Mike’s hand’s when he held Brittini for the first time.
Sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. We worked together for several years in the eighties at the West garage work centre.
My deepest sympathies for Kim and family.
