Mick was the most straightforward person that I ever had the privilege of calling a friend. I never heard him speak ill of anyone, as he once said, if you can't say anything good, best to say nothing. Mick was a true gentleman and his passing will affect all those who shared time with him. Tracey and myself will really miss him but we will never ever forget him. God bless you Mick.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
