Mike was a dependable, vibrant gentleman with a sense of humour.  He was a kind, caring and compassionate family man with a wide circle of friends.

He had a great love of the outdoors and nature, whether it be gardening, caravanning or walking with his friends.

Due to his love of fell walking, this is the reason, we his family, would like to support the Mountain Rescue charity in his memory.

Mountain rescue team members are on call, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to recover climbers from precipitous crags, reunite lost walkers with their pals and ensure injured and sick casualties are safely delivered into vital hospital care. They also regularly help search for missing children and vulnerable adults, on and off the hills, whilst administering sympathetic support to their families. They search river banks and swift water, and wade chest-deep through flooded urban streets aiding swimmers, kayakers and devastated homeowners.
