For the 55 years we have all spent together, through good times and bad, it has been both a pleasure and an honour. Go freely, Michael and look down upon us with that grin and your boundless spirit. You did well, really well and will always be remembered.
In loving memory from,

Rest in peace Mike. Very few people can change the lives of so many people for the better and shake up an entire industry at the same time but you did just that. Kind, generous and inspirational. The world is a poorer place without you.
