Michael John Morley (8 May 1947 - 1 Jul 2025)

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.

You will always stay in our hearts.

Michael, you will alway stay in our hearts

I was very lucky to have known Mike for more than 50 years.
We worked together for 20years plus - so I totally recognise Philip’s recollection of his dad as being methodical and organised. He certainly was!
He used to tell me all about what his sons were doing - he was so very proud of them, and of course his lovely wife Glynis.
I will miss have lunch with him and I will miss his great sense of humour.

I am very proud to have called him my friend.
