When Ivan and I were considering a move to Enfield, Michael — ever the proud ex-local — said he’d send through a few thoughts. What arrived wasn’t just casual advice, but a full, thoughtful guide. He wrote with the precision of a local historian and the heart of someone who was genuinely excited at the prospect of our new home. Michael walked us through each neighbourhood like a personal tour guide, highlighting parks, train lines — even the risk of occasional flooding. That email wasn’t just helpful; it was Michael: informed, kind, and always ready to help in any way he could.
I’ll remember evenings in Forest Hill, barbecues in Hitchin, and that magical trip to Disneyland Paris — always with Glynis by his side. He was generous with his time, his stories, and his sincere curiosity about the lives of those around him. His witty mind often came alive in conversations about theatre, history, or the many cruises he and Glynis had taken — adventures he recounted with warmth and humour.
Michael was a family man in the truest sense. His love and support for Glynis, his children, and his grandchildren was always evident. He will be missed — and remembered with warmth, gratitude, and great fondness.
