I never came across your Dad, Rachel, my lot are all at the other end of the country and the bottom left hand corner of Wales, but it is always sad for us when one of our stars falls.
Sleep tight, Mike. You will be remembered with love and gratitude. :'(

Rachel

My deepest condolences to you and the rest of the family. Your dad helped me a great deal with family research and was a very valuable source of information.

All the best

I did wonder if something was wrong, because Mike offered to help me with something if I couldn't get further. I eventually got back to him but didn't receive a reply.....I normally had to rein him in from spending too much time helping me !

You can be more than proud of your Dad.

RIP Mike.....I'll miss you for the laughs we had.....now I'll never get to give you that face to face thank you that I promised
