Having just recently heard about Mike´s passing, I would like to extend my sympathy to Mike´s family and friends.
I fondly remember Mike as a great boss. He was pretty strict , but in a good way, as he cared for his staff and wanted to make sure we all did our best. He always had a twinkle in his eye and was great fun to be around and work with. We will all miss you Mike, go well in peace.

Best

It was very sad to hear the news of Uncle Mickey, who I will always remember with very fond memories.
I remember as a kid Michael and Maureen babysat us Moore kids and we made paper mache piggy banks, sat through a thunderstorm and went out white-baiting. Looking after three small kids didn't put them off having their own (Phew).

Micheal would always look at me and say - "How's Erwi? a nickname I still hold to this day and he always had a funny story and would give you this quirky look. I think we have all been given that look at some stage!

Now he is back misbehaving again with his three older brothers and I can only imagine that Nana is back saying "Harley, Robin, Gary, Michael - will you boys stop it !!"

Goodbye Uncle Michael , you were one of the best !!
