In loving memory of Michael 'Mike' John Riley who sadly passed away on 26th January 2026

Mike's family ask that rather than send flowers please make a donation to a charity close to the family being The Salvation Army.

They also wish to thank everyone for their cards and kind words written about Mike.

The family would like to invite everyone attending to join them afterwards to raise a glass and celebrate the life of Mike at the The Roslin Hotel, Thorpe Esplanade, Southend-on-Sea, Essex SS1 3BG
