My Condolences to Mike’s family, I had the pleasure to get to know Mike while he was at Queensway , I worked on Mike doing Physio. Mike had a great sense of humor and I enjoyed listening to him when he played his harmonica, and l had him play his harmonica to end the group group exercises as the residents loved it. He will be missed by all

Sad to hear of uncle Mike’s passing. I remember sitting around when I was young listening to his music and when I got older too. Mike was a good one. He will be missed. I’m glad I got to talk to him at one of the recent reunions a few years back in London.
