You would never think you would be connected to someone for 44 years after such a brief time working together. Mike became a long-term friend whom, I would never have believed would have left us so quickly. He coped with his condition very bravely and with such dignity. He deserved longer on this earth.

Mike was always there, one of life’s characters who loved life and family. We watched each other’s kids grow up. At work, he was a bit of a legend, adventurous, interesting, with huge positivity and was great company for everyone. Having travelled the world, he was wise (the Irish Sage), knowledgeable, and fun to be with. His love of sailing, technology and music connected us.

Mike, you will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. A lovely man. Bless you Mike, thank you for your friendship. Cheers!
