So saddened to learn of Michael's passing. When last in New Zealand he made my attendance at the Rotherham School Reunion so much fun with his enthusiasm and reminiscing with me about the past years of a wonderful childhood spent at the Hermitage. Sending condolescences to his family on behalf of Janice and the late Graham Hammond of Geraldine.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Michael Gould - a truly great man. I´ve had the privilege of looking after his gardens for over a year, and in that time, I came to know someone full of warmth, kindness, and life.

Michael always seemed happy, always had a kind word, and his presence made even the smallest moments feel brighter. I will truly miss doing his gardens, and I´ll miss the friendly chats and cheerful spirit that came with them.

My thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. He will be sadly missed.

Rest in peace, Michael.
