Sending lots of love to all the family. I have so many fond memories growing up back and forth the shop. As an adult it was lovely to be able to take my children there for their first pets (and give the back at times 😳). xx

Mike really made my day when me and my younger sister would go to the pet shop after school to see both him and Shirley, it really breaks my heart to know he has passed but I know he lived a good long life and he certainly made my life better every time I went into the pet shop in Neath after school

Thank you Mike for everything you did for me and my family and I really appreciate everything you did to keep both my and my siblings entertained over the years.

Mike, thank you for the wonderful memories you left for us and our kiddos.

Always ready with a smile, a bit of news or some sweets. You always welcomed our chaos in the shop and became a safe place for the kids to pop in on their way home from school. Just like you used to drop me home from school regularly too!

Always a gent, always a friend.

You will be missed so much and we will remember you fondly.
