Thinking of a lovely man xx

We will always be grateful for the skill, care and support that Papworth hospital gave to Michael and Rita.

Thinking of you and all your family today ❤️xx

Rest in peace dear Mick x

I have no words to ease your pain but we are all so blessed to have known Mick . He was a real fighter and a true gentleman who has embraced life to the full.. Taking every opportunity to be with his amazing family. May you now rest in peace Mick with your beautiful daughter Emma.

Sending my condolences at this sad time. Thinking of you all. Tony

A loving and kind family man who will be dearly missed. May your cherished memories bring you some comfort Lou and Rita. Sending you both lots of love ❤️ xx

Your dad was such a lovely, kind man Lou and such an incredible family man who didn’t miss a thing when it came to his grandchildren. That love and pride he had for you all was so obvious to everyone. He was one of life’s true warriors who never gave up and anyone who knew your Dad would have complete admiration for the great man he was. Know that I will be there for you Thursday and sending you and your Mum and all of you so much love and strength at such an incredibly sad time. 🙏❤️

Dear Rita, Louise, and family,

I’ve been thinking so much about Mick and wanted to share just how special he was to all of us. He was patient, kind, and somehow completely unfazed by a house full of teenage girls getting ready for nights out in some of Medway’s more “lively” establishments. He welcomed it all with warmth and good humour.

I’ll always remember how he would sit up with Rita waiting for us to come home, cigar in hand, glasses of water ready, making sure we were all safe before we stomped upstairs. It was such a simple thing, but it meant everything. Of course there was always the reassurance he’d pay for the taxi if we’d been over zealous at the bar!!!

My heart is with you, Rita, with you Louise, and especially as you continue to carry the memory of Em. I hope it brings some comfort to know how deeply Mick was loved and how many lives he touched. I’m sure they’re together again looking proudly at you all.

With love. Sappho xxxx
